Why would you be any smaller? It's not like you could be exercising. Having a c-section doesn't make you that much more limited..

Yes..Thank you. I've had 2 myself. I was asking how her being limited has anything to do with the size she is now.

i would be able to do a bit more. slight exercise. I can't go up and down the stairs to do laundry..well i couldn't anyways. The dryer is broke.. I can't go up and down stairs to go see my mom like i used to. I can't go for my afternoon walks

All of that I could be doing if i hadn't had a c-section. With how much i'd be doing it i'd be a lot smaller already..

all i can really do is lay around 'cuz it still hurts to get up and walk. I can barely take care of Alex right now and i feel like such a terrible mother because of it Sad

they did tell me that. i've been getting up and walking as much as i can take since about 6 hours after Alex was born. It is SLOWLY getting easier but it still hurts like @#^%. I had to walk around the hospital today and my doctors office monday. I can only take so much plus when Alex sleeps so do I..which is most of the day....

I had stitches and steri strips.

I was walking up and down stairs the day after I got home from the hospital. Of course they tell you not to, but I had to. You need to get up and walk even if it hurts. Laying around is just going to make it take longer to heal. Did they not give you pain medication?

About a week after I had my second c-section I was out motorcycle shopping with Jon..For 5 hours. That kind of sucked.
