Bethany Loads of love and blessings for you, new bub and your family. Can you explain breastfeeding after c-section please? Thank you.

@@ntshsahan It’s the same to a vaginal delivery! It may be a bit uncomfortable because of your incision so I use a breastfeeding pillow to support myself.

I'm so happy for you!! ☀️

Bethany I have a scheduled section in less than a month and your videos have been so helpful, one of my main concerns was being in so much pain due to the section that I wouldn't be able to think straight or take care of my baby boy properly, this video has been amazing to see a positive experience after a c-section, normally videos on KZfaq around it are so negative. Congrats on beautiful baby Carter

Sooo they decided to do my csection LAST NIGHT!! So happy my baby girl Annsleigh is here! Sure glad I did some refreshing my memory with all your videos!! 😊😊 lol

Congratulations!! Thanks so much!! ❤️❤️

My baby too 10 p i was schocked didn’t except that.

IT was a good stretch! He hasn't had a 3 hour stretch of sleep at night in a while. haha

Hope she arrives soon for you! I know how uncomfortable you must be! Praying for a safe and smooth delivery! ❤️

Not sure if you will see this but I had my baby via csection because of a myomectomy too, in 2019. I just wanted to give you a bit if reassurance that my babies birth was a beautiful experience, it was calm and all the nurses and doctors were so happy and excited, it was such a great experience for us. My recovery was pretty good, just keep on top of your pain meds and move when you can. Good luck and congratulations, from another myomectomy/csection mum

Congratulations 💗, just a few more days. My tip would be to start walking as soon as you can. The nurse said it helps.with pain and healing. I had a good c-section also. Slowly take ur time. I wish a safe and healthy baby and delivery ❤

Can't wait to see them grow up together!!!

I was on morphine for two days afterwards ( but I had complications), and then was on aleve and Tylenol. One aleve, two Tylenol every 6 hours.

Don’t worry about the pain. I had my second c section two months ago and the pain is really not that bad. I am not going to lie, it hurts. But nothing to be scared of.

If your hospital has a lactation consultant I highly recommend you ask to see them, that was so helpful for me. Best wishes for you and your delivery ☺️💛

I’ve had 2 csections - both urgent unfortunately. My first wasn’t able to nurse due to some physio stuff and my second latched great and we’re EBF right now at almost 4 months. Keep baby on your chest non stop in recovery and latch baby even during surgery by having someone else hold your nipple and support the baby. My son fed asap after they got him out! It was wonderful. Every time baby stirs or wakes up immediately put baby to breast. If you feed basically every time they’re awake your supply will come in good and strong and baby willl gain lots of weight. It’s exhausting but it’s only temporary. You cannot see how much baby is getting so let baby take all the time he/she needs to empty you. Football hold is okay but I liked cross cradle even more. A lactation consultant can double check for you that baby has no ties and is positioned just right. Your goal is to keep baby’s ears, shoulders and neck in a straight line. Hug baby really close to you and hold your boob so as much tissue as possible is in baby’s mouth. This helps avoid nipple trauma too as your nipples get used to the constant friction. Make sure to air your nipples out and apply an ointment liberally in the early days and then when you feel tender.

I also had two c section. I recommend to feed immediately after the surgery. And then every two or three hours. And wake the baby in the beginning to feed it. It took me about 2 or 3 days to have milk. At first it’s exhausting but it quickly gets better.

@@AnnetteWarren Yes! Waking to feed is very important. I think csection babies can be a little sleepier from extra drugs but I’m not sure.

I wish they used the IV more than once though!! When they came to flush it they said it was no good and then kept doing heel pricks. So sad but glad it was momentary to make sure he was doing okay. Still hurts a Mama's heart! Glad you understand!

@@BethanyFontaine Aw. 🤕 That is a lot of pain for one round.

This was my third and it was planned so my midwives knew from the start that was my plan! Hope all goes well for you! :)

It is so sad! But i'm so happy they can get better with them even if it's hard to see!
