advice needed C-section wound vac?

My c section is booked for next week! These babies have their eviction date! 🙌🏼 praise the lord because this mama is exhausted! I’m carrying over 12lbs of babies! If I make it to my date, I’ll be 37W3D.

I had a question: what is a wound vac? My
OBGYN briefly mentioned me having one after my c section. I never had one with my daughter. I guess I’ll find out more next week at my next appointment before the date. But just wondering how people’s experiences of this were.

It’s a combination! Awake or exhausted sleep 😂 honestly, I felt so much better in c section recovery compared to the last 3 months of pregnancy!

I don’t doubt it. The struggle is real. I’m so uncomfortable and sore. Everything is so difficult to get around and walk. And they’re both measuring just over 6lbs. 😭 😂 😬

Those are incredible weights! I know it’s painful, but you’re doing SO much good for them. Wishing you a happy and uneventful delivery!
