I heard it's hard. Anyone on here have a c section and just had the weight come off by itself?
I am having cramping, swollen breasts. no facial hair. yes trouble losing weight. and i can definitely tell when i'm ovulating. Last time i had sex was sunday the 18th of april. I have unprotected sex, no birth control. i take minocycline for my face. no its not my first abnormal cycle. and no kids.
I'm having a baby in 3 weeks but would like to start losing weight afterwards safely. I'm having a c section and would like suggestions on some core strenthening that won't do damage to the weakened area.
I did. I was sick the whole pregnancy and couldn't keep anything down. I had a scheduled c section at 39+5 weeks and she was only 5 pounds 3 oz because I stayed sick. Hopefully your situation turns out better. Good luck!
s a 6 week wait for exercise after a vaginal birth but 12 weeks after a section to give your incision time to fully heal, cause it's not just that neat little scar on your outside but 8 layers inside as well that have all been stitched up. And even then you have to ease yourself into the exercise and not go in at fell speed.
Hi there. For starters, I'm glad you over came your aneurysm! My cousin actually had an aneurysm years ago and had a baby about 2 years back. She made it aware to her gyno that that had happened, and they didn't want to take any risk with a natural birth that they scheduled her for a c-section. You'll be fine, so long as you have a c-section. Too much pushing, labor pains and anything else related to labor can trigger it again.
I am breastfeeding my daughter now for more than 12weeks and just by doing that I have gone back to my pre-pregnancy pregnancy weight within 2 weeks and that's after a c-section. I'm on no special diet, I eat whatever I want whenever I want. And I'm constantly hungry because of my body generating milk. But I must say, I was lucky to not have picked up alot of weight during the pregnancy.
After my c-sections (3) I've been told 12 weeks before sit ups, crunches, and planks. Less intense ab exercises are okay after 6 weeks.
They gave me meds when sewing me up that made me soooo out of it. I barely remember that first day after the hour recovery. (Except that I was absolutely starving all day, couldn't get out of bed because I had these inflating bag things on my legs, and I was catheterized until the next day!!!) I didn't know anything about birth plans or that I could have possibly had a say in anything, so definitely talk to your doctor about anything you wish to happen.
It takes a while to fully heal internally, they say 6 weeks but honestly I'd wait just a bit longer. But, no stomach work outs, crunches, sit ups, push ups for at least 4 months. You can rip open your uterus, when they stitch you after a c sec they literally go layer by layer.
