Maybe because I had a stich down there so it was hard to sit down. Having a C-section in the Philippines is twice as much as having it normally, so paying the hospital bill was more difficult than recovery haha!

With my son I had an unplanned c-section and didn't walk (because I mean really, it HURTS and I refused pain meds because I'm an opiate addiction counselor--don't wanna go there!) and my stomach got so distended and full of gas it looked like I was still 9 months pregnant. It was more painful than the scar. With my daughter I was bugging the crap out of my husband I wanted to walk around so much because I didn't want that to happen again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508857920839532606noreply@blogger.com
