@cat333 In my case the oxycodone was a last resort and not a scheduled medication. I wouldn’t have needed it if I had kept up with the tylenol/ibuprofen regiment. So it may be possible to survive without the narcotic as long as a strict schedule with the otc stuff is followed. Congratulations...

@jesusjesusjesus Holy hell that sounds awful. I’m so sorry that happened to you.

@patrickburwell Oh bless that lie your body tells you during the drug induced “hey, I’m perfectly fine!”. Its so difficult not to take that feeling and run with it. It must be remembered that you only feel that way because of medication. Sage wisdom here. Y’all take 👏🏻 your 👏🏻 meds 👏🏻😭.

@diaryofasuperchamp You’re absolutely right. My brain is a gd mess right now and all the differences with my proscribed medications are getting jumbled 😅 I’m to be taking the ibuprofen every 6 hours; will fix post.

@zonn I’m unsure about how long to take it post-delivery since everyone’s pain tolerance and recovery are different. I plan on babying the shit out of myself and taking it as long as I feel I need since I’m the type to power through, hernia’s be damned. But with a little one to care for, that...

@djp2240 The key, I’ve learned, is drugs. Just all the drugs they give you 🙃.

@jale66 Oh dear I’m sorry. That sounds uncomfortable af.

@katrina2017 THIS. This is so important and thank you for mentioning it. I’ve been fortunate enough to have had a major surgery in the past so I am keenly aware of this phenomenon. Take meds, walk a bit, then rest , y’all. Your body will thank you for not killing it the second you feel well...

@ccrena360 Oh boy this. Forgot to mention the pain increases with bladder fullness.

@blessedbythebest88 I'm exactly two weeks out from my second unplanned c-section, and I'm starting to feel a little better. I've only lifted the baby, and any diaper changes I've done have been from a sitting position in bed. My partner has done everything from housework to keeping me fed...

@polarbearwear I see! Happy to know I didn’t offend though it was a nice reminder for me to include a note for any FTM that worry about going through a section. So thank you for that 😊 Being a student and knowing what may be expected with a section, your feelings are so valid . I hope your...

@jack986 I’m unfamiliar with DR but thank you for the resource! It is so hard trying to lose weight to begin with and when conventional means are no longer applicable its just that much harder.

@lily01 You can still breastfeed while taking oxycodone. As far as sleepiness... idk it’s our first night home and the adrenaline has done a good job keeping me awake when I need to be 😅 I’ve been able to get up and pick up baby but my partner has helped a lot with maneuvering pillows and...

@lily01 Of course! I was scared shitless being wheeled to the operating room so I am happy to ease any anxieties for anyone who may have to go through a section for the first time. So far, the tylenol and ibuprofen on a strict every-4-to-6-hr schedule has been helpful. I’m still mildly sore...

So long story short we had a (welcome) surprise pregnancy almost immediately after I recovered from an abdominal surgery which has come back to haunt me in the last few months. I am 16 months PP. Apparently my abdominal muscles splitting in half to house a fetus before they could fully heal...

@polarbearwear Oh dear I am so sorry. I had no intention of scaring anyone and I truly apologize. The only reason this moment is painful for me is because I forgot to take medicine like I was supposed to. I did the big dumb. If you remember your meds, this moment of peril can be avoided...

@coleson Oh absolutely! I believe both resting and being active where possible are definitely compatible. Just a matter of the balance with rest and activity as well as being careful with how you’re active. I shudder to think of where I’d be physically if I didn’t force myself to get up and...

ETA: Yo let me preface this with a note that my c-section was a beautiful experience and, until this moment, has not been terribly difficult to heal from in the last few days. Yes I’m sore but it’s like a “I just ran a couple miles for the first time in a year” sore. Bearable new work out pain...
