I remember the compression sleeves (so loud, how can one sleep?!?), being starved to death until I passed gas, being crazy out of it (my mom gave me a Pandora bracelet that I'd been wanting in the hospital and I completely forgot about it). I had an "easy" recovery and it wasn't the worst thing in the world. It definitely wasn't my preference and it probably wasn't necessary in my case (unlike yours!) which was really annoying.<br /><br />Recovery the 1st few days with the VBAC was amazing compared to surgery. I popped the baby out and took a shower a few hours later feeling almost completely like myself. Sleep deprivation was better too because I didn't need to take drugs that made me (and the baby) sleepy. But like cheaperthantherapy said, there was a lot of lower body area type of recovery that was non-existent with my C-Section. And I had minor issues that lasted a couple of months. Going to the bathroom should NOT be terrifying!keyalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706394687703975927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-13550753789798409432014-10-01T07:40:10.303-04:002014-10-01T07:40:10.303-04:00We estimate we did that a combined total of 8-10 t...We estimate we did that a combined total of 8-10 times last night. <br /><br />Very interesting on the csection/VBAC comparison!

Both husband and i did that every night for the first few weeks. Sleep deprivation is fun.<br /><br />I remember the uncontrollable shaking and the compression sleeves! I was so out of it, I thought my legs were throbbing until I looked down and saw them.<br /><br />Having had a c-section first, I totally thought recovering from a vag birth was going to be easy, but each one is its own special hell. Going to the bathroom was terrifying for at least a month. Anyway. <br />Your husband is adorable! I just love seeing new dads holding their babies. Glad you both are doing well.cheaperthantherapyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467202678498062876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-9587315189494510952014-09-30T15:51:43.709-04:002014-09-30T15:51:43.709-04:00You do look a little cracked out in those birth ce...You do look a little cracked out in those birth certificate pictures!<br /><br />I thought you might like this - http://www.runningstarfish.com/ She's an awesome runner who just had a baby via "surprise c-section"...interesting read.
