I dont know about that Lotte - I had 2 Caesars, Neither was elective. After
30hrs labour with the first a caesar was the ONLY option and I was back on
my feet within a couple of weeks. I can remember seeing the new mums who had
delivered the usual way walking quite bowlegged LOL at least I could walk
with my legs together!!!! First Caesar was a classical scar and it healed
quickly.
Second time around a failed natural ended the same way and once again I
watched the naturals walking bowlegged. Who knows what is the best way and
how long the recovery is - we are all indeed different. (mind you all this
was 24 yrs ago so times might have changed)
A few years ago I had an awful abdominal surgery complete with blood
transfusions etc and was doing a 10 day hike in the wilds of North Qld
within 6 weeks carrying up to 20kgs so really I think anything is possible.
Dont let anyone tell you what you feel you are capable of - just do it
I rekon the main thing is that if you have a partner who is willing to watch
Peanuts while you go for a ride then you go sister!
