Life after CS

Toni you poor thing, that's awful. My scar has healed well, but is sore to touch and occasionally sore anyways.

And I have the flabby tum, which doesn't seem to go away even with exercise, even thoughg I am 5kg lighter now than when I started my pregnancy.

As for my back, it's stuffed at the moment! The whole left side is wound up like a spring and has affected both my wrists, in which I get a lot of pain. I have just started (2 x each) going to acupuncture & an osteopath. I am on ACC for both of them (as the osteo used his form to 'refer' me to the acupuncturist). Things were so bad I couldn't lift Amelia, and had my mum here for 2 weeks helping out. Things are a bit better, but my back is pretty sore today. I felt awful after acupuncture last time and he said that it could have been the anaesthetic coming out (12 hour epi, plus 15 hours syntocinin .. with 12 hours at max dose).

I do feel that my whole birth process (40 hours) has really contributed to how I am now.

Hope you manage to get sorted soon!
