I began having contractions early that day and not until midnight they started getting worse 5 minutes apart, after 3 hours of that my water broke at home, immediately went hospital, they checked me, And yes I was in Labor not dilated at all they admitted me and there it began I was in labor with full contractions for 26 hours until the on call doctor decide to perform a c-section on me because the baby was facing my pelvic bone baby never turned and was putting the baby under stress.

The c section went great. The recovery was not so great after going home from the hospital. My incision did not heal as planned and was starting to develop a small infectionwhich was caught on time all this because of remaining really active and not resting as I was instructed by the MD , But who has time for that with a newborn right. Just some advice for new moms who had a c-section Rest as much as possible, that way you will heal up faster and bleeding will stop sooner.
