I’m choosing to have an elective C section with my second delivery. I am so thankful for this video! I have no idea what’s ahead of me (I’m 32 weeks today) but I am thankful for people like you 💕

[@MommaAlia]

Aw yay🤍 I hope it goes perfectly momma💕

[@violet32makingit64]

Congrats!!! How are you doing? Are you pregnant? I’m 36+4 weeks, will have a CSection at 37+1 , due to pre e & breech baby ( plus, I’m choosing a elective one either way) .... Blessings!

[@dreapeters]

Great video! Thank you for speaking up about the C Section experience! Not many women do. This is extremely truthful and helpful!

[@MommaAlia]

Happy to help!💕

[@luciadeloach9932]

[@ashlynhammack7062]

I will be having my 3rd c section in August not by choice but it only matters with the end result of a healthy happy baby

[@MommaAlia]

You got it momma! Hope everything goes well(:

[@Yaya-fw3vg]

Are they going to be using the same scar or no

[@msmuniz23]

Kudos mom to have 3 c sections. I had one and I was in a lot of pain during recovery

[@salenay435]

Thank you. It’s been almost 5 years since my c section. Needed a refresher for baby #2.

[@MommaAlia]

Happy to help! Good luck!

[@vanessamorgan2004]

So happy to have come across your video. Wish I would have had these tips when I went through my first c-section. I'm having my 2nd c-section in April and your video is so helpful!

[@MommaAlia]

Aw yay! Congrats momma and I hope everything goes well!(:

[@mzzkc86]

Pants,no. Pads,no. Dresses and depends,yes!😊

[@MommaAlia]

I may try this next time!

[@ShebeChloe]

Big sweat pants are nice I've had 4 c sections

[@samanthapatterson2340]

I never would have thought about using depends

[@shannonrobb5608]

One of my friends is having a scheduled c section in May and was thinking about as a shower gift making her a post partum care package of things she would need! Would you say getting a loose nightgown would be more comfy than pjs

[@kaymark6744]

I am having a c section next week. You say to buy depends... do you need them to go to the bathroom in? Lol or just for the bleeding afterwards please let me know

[@demiiKayxoxox]

What a great vid soon to have my first section and really don't know how to properly prepare or what to fully expect but this video has defiantly helped thank you!

[@MommaAlia]

Thanks for watching!(:

[@annlynsantosh8317]

Hi, I have a scheduled C-section in another four days. I'm very nervous but your videos are very helpful. I'm glad I found you.

[@MommaAlia]

Good luck momma! Sending you good vibes for a healthy and happy delivery and baby!!

[@TheLadyShred]

I was so sensitive after my 3 C-sections that I couldn't even stand granny panties. I am not even ashamed to say that Depends did the trick to catch heavy blood flow and they came up high enough over the incision that it didn't bother it. Just saying, instead of buying huge panties and pads, Depends are better in my opinion for the first few days at least!

[@MommaAlia]

Genius! I may do this next time just for the sake of not having worry about ruining underwear lol

[@serendipity369]

Stevie Ellis I'm doing that now. Lol I had a c sec 8/8/17 An they are great! I'm very happy

[@MSGJD2]

Those depends were the best. I grabbed a pack for this c-section.

[@jesusismygodsavioursoldier7719]

[@stephaniewright340]

I just happened to click the play.. Im glad I did.. I remember my c-section.. Ugh.. Recovery was hard.. I went home 4 days after my son was born.. They took my staples out.. Once I went home I was basically on NY own.. They didn't really give me instructions or anything.. I went to go lay down.. My son was on my chest.. He was 9. 9.. So he was a big baby.. I wasn't allowed to lift him.. But I was allowed to hold him for breastfeeding.. I woke up and my husband came in and lifted our son up and noticed I was all wet.. So he looked and he said im going to clean you up and maybe we should go back up to the hospital.. I said why he said I just want to make sure your OK... Since I couldn't feel NOTHING... I had no clue that my incision came open.. And my husband said he was putting my insides back in me.. And made a bandage and helped me get into the car and to the hospital.. We were in the ER for two hours.. We left our new born with grandma.. (Had no clue it was going to be a 3 1/2 visit).. I got extremely upset cause I was there so long and my son was home.. It's not what I pictured on our first night home... The doctor came in.. Took the pads off and all that stuff.. And turned around to my husband and said why did you bring her up here she's fine.. My husband then got really upset.. He said first.. She's not fine.. Second I pushed her guts back in third she is swollen and all red around that area.. The doctor turned to me.. Rolled his eyes.. And said you first time parents crack me up.. Thats when I was about ready to lose it.. I said do you think I wanted to come back to this place on the very day I took my son home.. Do you think this is fun for me.. My husband is concerned for me.. Yes, we are first time parents.. But I've never seen a woman go home and her guts come out.. Then the doctor said well I told you no lifting.. I started crying and I said I just laid down and sat up.. That's it.. He acted as if I lied.. Yes, im stubborn but not where its going to put my health or my family health at risk.. The doctor cleaned the wound.. Covered it up and said you don't need to bring her up.. You did a hood enough job.. Are you kidding me.. Your serious!! ?? He said yes.. Wow.. A week later my scar got worse and I developed a very bad infection along with mastitis in both breast.. I told my husband later that we will NEVER go back to that hospital I don't care if im dying.. And that's the only hospital taking patients.. Yes it was a long time ago.. But that doesn't mean attitudes change through out time.. He could of educated us more.. And he didn't need to treat new parents crappy... Yes, I was a brand new mom.. But being a parent came natural to me.... Since then that hospital has closed.. Thank goodness.. I thought it would of been a top of a line hospitals just because it is a labor delivery.. Maternity hospital.. HOW WRONG I WAS!!! My son now is going on 18 years old in Jan.. And very healthy.. Smart gentleman.. My whole pregnancy was a total nightmare.. Its the reason why we only ever had one baby..

[@MommaAlia]

Oh man momma! So sorry you had to go through all that! But at least you got your beautiful baby boy out of it(:

[@stephaniewright340]

Momma Alia im good now.. But it's weird how a woman can remember every single detail of their child's birth.. My baby boy.. Lol.. Is 6' 1 and about 200 pounds.. Lol..yes, hell always be my baby.. I just can't rock him to sleep anymore.. And im no longer his girl.. Now.. I know nothing and the only time he wants to be seen with me is when he wants money.. Lol.. I love teen life.. Ugh.... No, seriously I do have a pretty good kid..

[@jonismith9723]

I had two csectons one was emergency the other wasn't , comfortable underwear is a must I preferred Hanes her way , lots of pads ,gauze pads,spray bottle ,comfy pants ,loose shirts I wore a night gown at home alot do what's comfy for u

[@CC-cr3hk]

How soon can you put a belly band on after the surgery?!

[@tesoleary9877]

Omg great video! I had 2 c-sections I'm gonna have my 3rd in October & wish I would've seen this video before my 1st born. Omg I thought I was gonna die after that c-section. the 2nd one was easier cause it was scheduled

I went with the really low cut bikini cut panties. They sat right under my scar and I could hold gauze in the panty line and tat helped so much!

i m hvng twins with ivf n due in October n most probably going to hv c section m super worried n stressed 😢 i don't hv any help except fr my husband. this z my frst pregnancy n a precious one as m married fr 6 years now.

[@MommaAlia]

Congrats momma! Try not to stress (I know that's impossible) and check out Facebook support groups. There's ton out there and I'm sure there's some for twin moms. They'll have tons of tips for you. The hospital staff should take good care of you during your stay and don't be afraid to lean on them for help! Good luck momma

[@CBWithNicole]

I love how so many people suggest granny panties. I was allowed to use tampons, and I was soooo grateful. With my first child though, I did not know about the process. They put me in a granny pantie and I felt so uncomfortable, and opted for the granny diapers(still awkward)... TMI I know

[@MommaAlia]

I actually loved the mesh and super sized underwear lol! My OB said no tampons for the first 12 weeks but I'm glad you found something that worked for you!

[@Me-lc9dk]

Thanks for Sharing the video !! Waiting for my peanut to grow :) - will also have a c-section in August. Everyone around me who had c-section is just terrified about this procedure. If you are healthy, strong brain, stamina etc and knowing what you will be going through is that really really bad the recovery part? I am asking as I will have to take 3 passing exams one week after the birth :)) Hehe..thoughts?

[@MommaAlia]

I feel like I'm a pretty level headed, strong person most of the time and the it was the actual operation I struggled with. I was totally fine pre- op and post- op but during I was a blubbering, hot mess lol. I think it's the realization of just exactly is about to happen and the seriousness of the procedure. It seems to hit at once for me (even the second time around) but I allow myself to feel those things. It's all part of the process I believe! But once in recovery I was asking to nurse, be moved to my room and was eager to get up on my own. I think it's important to listen to your body and go at your speed(:

[@Me-lc9dk]

Thank you!

[@shilohhosanna]

What about using a Squatty Potty for going to the bathroom after a c section? Would this be possible to use?

[@MommaAlia]

If you have room to pack it I think it’s a great idea!!

[@barbraork8288]

Well my placenta is covering my cervix completely and I might have to have a c section and I am terrified Never had it done scared of needles

[@MommaAlia]

Hang in there momma. You'll do great I'm sure and I hope you both are perfectly healthy at the end of it!

[@panterarosa3969]

Thank you!! I still didn’t take any this go around. Just Tylenol and ibuprofen. I am a little more Sore but nothing unbearable

Can you add m ore detailed video on belt

The postpartum girdle? I don't think I could): They supply it at my hospital with no brand name or anything. There are some on Amazon tho!

[@falmelJM09]

Oh and I have that breastfeeding pillow and I found it to be helpful after c section and better then the Boppy

[@MommaAlia]

[@sfworld4368]

Tell diet after c section

[@chelseym4372]

After my emergency csection last time i used pads in the hospital, getting up n down was hard enough but then the bloody pad is shifting while trying to get up so when i went home i got DEPENDS AT CVS. Scheduled c sec now in 5 weeks ill definitely be using them and the dresses YES no pants

[@MommaAlia]

I’ve been thinking of going this way too! I’m heavy bleeder though so I’m worry how they’d hold up. Let me know how they work for you! No pants are a MUST!

[@roselinparker4673]

Men’s boxers??? Why didn’t I know that before.

[@poshandpots-]

When exactly can one use the tummy belt?

[@MommaAlia]

I’d talk to your OB because it may depend on how your incision is healing!

[@luperomero2623]

The hospital put it on me 20 hours after the csection. It's really up to you OB

[@kendiejace4131]

My son was in the nicu after he was born for about three months and i loved that hospital band so much i went back and got another one while i was there in the nicu. It really is a life saver without it I felt like every tiny movement or cough or laugh was gonna make my stomach fall out which was extremely painful.

[@MommaAlia]

I couldn’t agree more!!

[@punjabiprincess7119]

Hi.. Can u refer to a brand or a link?? Thanks

[@vampirekyofang]

Can u wear basketball shorts ?

[@MommaAlia]

You could but they may sit right at the level of your incision site. So maybe go a size up so they could sit higher?

[@elizabethgomez5792]

Not enough visuals for new moms 😕

[@MommaAlia]

Sorry it wasn’t what you were looking for!

[@imperfect2perfect717]

If you get a c section. Don’t the nurses want you to take a bowel movement before you can go home? I know they do when you have a vaginal birth

[@sandrafeliciano4030]

you are so funny but real about everything, I had 2 csections the 1st one was not bad but the second one was traumatic...

[@MommaAlia]

Thank you! I'm sorry to hear that momma

[@anadoll8188]

Why??

[@sandrafeliciano4030]

@@anadoll8188 I guess because I was much older when I had my 2nd one and I was forced to walk right away by the nurse with this painful incision that I have... it was just too much on my body... did you ever get a c-section???

just wondering why are u having another c-sections!!! not saying everyone cant but it make me crasy whwn doctors push a c-section just cause you had one before. vbacs are possible!!! Its just hard and harder to find doctors that would let u try..

[@appletinImom0f5]

but yeah to each there own!! I had 2 c-section so far out of 8 kids and 10 births. I didnt feel like I need much of anything after 2-3 days both times. Pain was very lil!!! Getting up from laying down was the only issue! felt like a fliped over turtle lol!! but im sure this video will help people :)

[@MommaAlia]

I've never mentioned the reason why on purpose, I feel it's a need to know basis between my doctor and myself(: just know I wouldn't have one unless medically necessary, which it was!

my hospital just don't do em. there's like only 2 hospitals I know in my state that does v-bacs and I don't feel like driving 3 hours just to do that lol. don't wanna have baby on the side of the street.

[@strangelet88]

Staples on C-section! Omg! Ladies, please talk to your ob to get something nicer for sutures!

[@MommaAlia]

I preferred them. Everyone will respond differently. I had staples with our older two with no incisional pain or hardly any scar. I had sutures with our third and it was the most painful experience and now I have a very noticeable scar. A skilled surgeon can make a lot out of either🤷🏻‍♀️
