“I hate these things I have to take,” she said. “But if I don’t take them, my body, it feels like someone has their fingers inside my body and is pulling.”
As a result of the experience, Francesca wants to shed a new light on the pain that C-section mothers endure.
“I feel like I wasn’t prepared for all the pain and everything else, the bleeding, the blood clots,” she said. “I was not prepared because social media doesn’t really tell you about that. They kind of make C-section seem like the easier way out. I don’t know. I thought C-sections were easier.”
On Nov. 12, Francesca wrote on Snapchat, “I do feel like I’d feel at least 85% better if I didn’t have to take any pain meds and my entire body wasn’t super itchy!”
She also shared a photo of her bare postpartum belly, writing, “Omggg.”
