Hun,get on the phone with your doc or go to the emergency room! Hope everything is ok.

I'd call your doctor, because normally once you deliver your symptoms should go away. I would think that by now they would have. When I retained so much fluids they wouldn't let me lay down flat because of it getting into my lungs but after they delivered the baby bout 5 days after his birth I was back to normal. If your chest is hurting and you don't feel well you need to call your doc and make sure that you are ok. If you are not doing well it will hinder you from taking proper care of your little guy. (i don't mean that you aren't taking good care of him but if you feel bad he can pick that up and tend to make him cranky too.) that is what your doc is there for....So i'd call him. If being away from your little skoot for a little means getting better, i'd have to say 'get better!!!"

Jenna, I had a c-sec with trey and they told me the same thing causei was so bloody swollen too, I was in the hosp for 5 days and after a few days at home I was ok again. (i remember it was the first tim ei could see my ankle bones in 2 months!!) how long did they keep you in the hosp? Maybe they should have kept you longer. I f you're really feeling awfull, then get to an er.

Let us know!!

Did they give you that little breathing test thing, where you have to breath into the tube and they would tell you to breath longer? The one I had was launched accross the room because it hurt so bad to take a breath after the c-section and they wanted me to breath longer and harder. It wasn't happening.

If you had to do that and still have your tube that measures your breathing why don't you try doing that a few times too so you can tell your doc what the breathing level is. That might help.

They only kept me in the hossy for 3 days and then told me I was doing alot better and I could go home. They didnt give me the breathing test they just told me to do these breathing exersizes when I put a pillow on my tummy and breath in deep 3 times then on the 3rd breath really deep and let it out with a cough.
Im feeling better now since I have jumped on my inhaler but if they problems keep going on im going to call my doc. And tell him to make room im coming in. Im scheduled for the 21st to go in for my post partum so well see if I stay feeling better then i'll wait it out. I'll keep you guys updated !!!
