I had one delivery with C-section, worked at home, went back 2 weeks after, was uncomfortable, not my idea of easy delivery, best was natural, back to work in several days. Be sure to get plenty of rest, sleep when your baby does if you can. If you are not tired it will be easier to work. Hope your recovery is fast. Everyone is different, just my experience. I would take natural birth, no drugs over anything else. Feel better soon and congratulations on your new baby.

I've been typing C-sections all day, and -s/m-

every time I get to the phrase, "the infant was then handed off to the waiting pediatricians", I get this mental picture that cracks me up:

I picture the surgeons with football padding and helmets. The baby is extracted, they wipe it off, and then one team starts running. They block and dodge and tackle, etc., all the while avoiding obstacles in the O.R., and then in the midst of all that, a handoff is made to the pediatrician, who now blocks & runs his way through other pediatricians trying to snatch the baby from him, which he has tucked under his arm like a little pink football. He runs, he reaches the door to the neonatal unit, and plops the infant into a waiting bed. TOUCHDOWN!

To be fair, history and other sections are composed, SM
analyzing and gathering in the process, with sometimes additional legal and political issues to consider, and the labs are mostly just read.
