I had an ultrasound that showed an enlarged uterus with a large subserosal fibroid measuring 148.8 cm in the right lateral wall and areas of early degeneration, plus another subserosal fibroid in the anterior wall measuring 1.72.2 cm. My ET is 8mm. One doctor recommended surgery, but two others suggested trying to conceive first. I don't have children yet and I'm really confused about what to do should I prioritize surgery or try to get pregnant with these fibroids?

I'm curious about how long it generally takes to recover after having a C-section. I'm also wondering if it's safe to begin using a maternity belt to support my abdomen during the recovery process.
After a C-section delivery, it typically takes about 6-8 weeks to fully recover. During this time, it is important to rest, avoid heavy lifting, and follow your doctor's post-operative instructions. You can use a maternity belt to support your abdomen and help with pain relief. It is recommended to wear the maternity belt for about 4-6 weeks post-delivery to provide support to the abdominal muscles.
