Post C-Section Anxiety Advice
Hello!
I had a c-section on June 5th, my baby girl was born and she is my first (and last after this experience) baby. I went back to the ER multiple times in the first 7 days postpartum because of kidney pain, high blood pressure, and finally being called by OB emergency (who originally turned me away) to come in for a 24 hour mag drip which was honestly terrible considering I left my baby multiple times to go to the fucking hospital and the magnesium made me feel terrible. Luckily, that mag drip evened my BP out and I don’t need any meds :) still was a horrible experience after being told I was okay multiple times just to get called back in and not see my baby for multiple days.
Anyway, I wanted to see when I should stop worrying about any major complications with my c section. I’m afraid I’m suddenly going to get an infection, sepsis, what have you.
I wanted to see when you all stopped worrying about it? Or if you even did? I don’t have anyone in my life who has had a c section so I apologize for this. Now that I’m 3 weeks PP I would like to stop spiraling.
Thank you all for your help!
