4 months in and I’m still feeling pain. It got better recently but then I had a cold and was coughing and sneezing. The only way I can describe is that it feels sore inside and above the scar is still numb the scar itself when I press down feels almost ropey and lumpy (bigger lumps in some areas which had the most pain during recovery). Oh and my abs are so weak.

I really question why anyone would elect to do this you are essentially in pain for over a quarter of a year. I had no choice but to do it, luckily it wasn’t an emergency. I found it really hard to be in so much pain while trying to care for my baby. It has made it much harder to feed him hold him and just do basic everyday things. I feel like there is not much support afterwards either.

Can any other mums relate? Is this normal?

It’s a day flight

Update: I know they provide bassinet seats, but which bassinet seat? The back cabin seems smaller but also closer to the bar and toilets.

I heard some people find it easier to quickly change the baby in their seat/bassinet.
