I had my daughter by emergency csection due to placental abruption. I was in the hospital 13 days due to their worry about my internal scars, and extreme loss of blood ( i had 7 transfusions) I wasn’t allowed to walk for 48 hours let alone go home!!

I was so weak i couldn’t even fathom it!

Just curious as to why an emergency section, because they (according to my drs. in baltimore) “arent as worried about scarlines” as getting the baby out in 30 seconds or less , and the incisions are an afterthought.
Without it, my daughter and i would be dead, I coded blue on the table and so did she.
After going through it, i totally agree with that statement, they just want to get baby out and stop bleeding.

I hope she was in good health, honest to herself about it, and really ok before she took on her role as mom. Its a tough one, a great one, but def. not one to start when you are not 100%

My cousin had her baby by c-section on a Sunday afternoon and was home Tuesday evening. I guess it’s different in different places! Piper is very cute and tiny!

Piper is very cute. I can relate to the painful c-section recovery. I also think the standard hospital stay is 2 days…unless maybe there are complications. I had my daughter on a Tuesday and went home on Thursday.

That’s a very cute baby. I see Jon has once again broken out the man Uggs from the CBB photoshoot (crib photo).

I like how open Michelle is about her experience. I find it really refreshing when people are honest.

A standard hospital stay for a c-section is 4 days…2 days for a vaginal birth. Celebrities do seem to want to get out of the hospital sooner than the rest of us, though. I personally stayed in the hospital as long as I could and milked it for all it was worth because I figured the moment we went home all of our “help” would disappear, and the nurses wouldn’t be around to answer questions and reassure us.

With that said, I think she looks like a very cute, sweet baby and congratulations to them!

Piper is so cute! And I love her name.

I think 2 days is the standard hospital stay for C-sections. My mom stayed two days in the hospital with each of her three kids and she had c-sections with all of us.

Sarah’s note: The ounce thing is from her blog after Piper’s first visit to the pediatrician at 2 weeks.

Do you know the brand of the blanket, so that we can add it to the post?

The fact that they did this 2 days after birth just proves what publicity hounds these two are. They are all about getting their name in the papers instead of actually being decent people. Neither one are celebrities. The public was not falling all over themselves to see a pic of their baby and most probably wouldn’t know them from Adam. Spend time with your child and enjoy it while you can. Photos for a a magazine can wait.

Such a lovely little family!

Though I must admit, this article has scared me to death now! Due to medical conditions I’ll have to have a cesarean whenever I get pregnant. The recovery is different for everyone, but she didn’t sugarcoat it like most people do!

It’ll be worth it though!

I was in the hospital for a week after I had my c-section, 2 years ago. It was an unplanned emergency c-section, because my beautiful,big girl was 8lbs 8ozs, and I am a very small girl, at 4’11 100lbs (pre preggo and now), so she was not coming natural, like my other 2 smaller children, lol. But, Michelle looks great and happy. Piper looks like a “mini” Fairplay, beautiful!
