- Scheduled for C-Section July 3rd and Terrified

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I had a c-section at 350 + pounds and I had a huge flap of fat covering over

everything just like I do now.....its just less puffy now. (ha ha) The most

important thing is to keep the incision dry. The labor and delivery nurses had

me use extra long maxi-pads over the incision and this helped alot but I still

did get a staph infection.....who knows why - even though I kept my incision

dry!!!!. I took antibiotics and had to have some help from hubby a few times a

day to change my dressing.

The c-section wasn't bad pain wise for me - I had 28 hours of labor before that

so I was willing to jump through a ring of fire at that point to get the baby

out.

I understand your fears - the best thing to do is to have someone who loves you

and supports you there with you. My husband and mom were their and they were so

great at keeping me calm and being advocates for me and the baby.

Good luck and if there are any other answers I can give you please don't

hesitate to ask.
