    Default Hello

    Hi my name is Carrie, I'm a mother of two 12 and 10. I'm from upstate NY but live in Pittsburgh now by way of DC. Hoping to get some support from others through this journey who have experienced this before.

    The first few days are the roughest but it gets better and better every day. You'll be up walking the same day. Just do everything they tell you and you'll be fine! Best wishes.

    I was there three weeks ago. You'll be fine. The first couple of days are a little hard but just do what they tell you and you'll be fine. Gigi posted a great blog about her trip with pictures. I thought she described it so well. I'll try to post a link to it for you.

    If you've delivered 2 babies, you're going to think this is a walk in the park. It's the easiest surgery I've ever had. I'm 6 days post op and not even taking Tylenol. The worst part for me has been the gas, but this too shall pass.

    You've come to the perfect site for information and support. Believe me, we're all rooting for you.

    Thanks everyone! I actually had 2 csections because I have some kidney issues, from what I am reading and everyone said this is nothing compared to that.
