I have 2 children, both born via caesarean sections. The first one in April 2014 and the second this October 2018. I had a very slow recovery the first time, especially in the first few days. I remember still feeling unable to get out of bed and mobilise at around 18hrs after my first section. I felt very dizzy and sore and I felt that I was about 2 weeks before I was able to get out and about. The recovery this time was fantastic. I was up out of bed, with assistance, 6hrs post surgery and unaided at 7. 5hrs. I was able to care for my baby myself on that first night. I was also home the following evening. The combination of anti-emetics, analgesia and early mobilisation post surgery have made a huge difference and I cannot praise this new recovery programme enough. It has been implemented very well.
