C-Section moms

JenJar

It hit me yesterday that I really don't know much about c-sections.  I told DH that I need to get out of the mindset that we will have a delivery with little complications like we did with G and at least prepare myself a little bit for the possibility of a c-section being needed.  The thought of the surgery doesn't really scare me that much.  But, I was reading an article last night in a magazine that said no lifting anything heavier than baby for at least 4 weeks.  Is that accurate???  I knew no lifting, but I guess I didn't realize it was for so long.  I can't imagine not being able to lift G up for a month.  What can you tell me about your c-sections so I am at least a little prepared for that option?
