I didn't want a c section either, but my recovery went really well and it doesn't bother me one bit after the fact. I will have a scheduled repeat for our second. I hope it's an easy mental recovery. Be kind to yourself as you heal over the next few weeks.

Thanks all! We had a rough night - he nursed constantly from 8pm to 5am. I was so sore and exhausted and kept worrying I would pass out and drop him. H took him at 5, convinced him that a pacifier would be ok, and let me sleep for a while. I immediately had a horrible dream and woke up sobbing that H had taken my baby and wouldn't ever let me have him again. Post-partum hormone changes are no joke.
I've had a couple weepy moments this morning, but a slow walk around the floor and a shower have made me so much happier. Baby is a champion nurser, and ate for almost an hour this morning. Now H has him again and is letting me rest. My H has been amazing through everything, and I think that has really made this labor, delivery and recovery feel easier than I expected.
Thank you all for the love and support! We are so in love with this little guy!
