[quote=Anonymous]Oh this is pp, I will say overall that scheduled c sections were not scary, not that painful and as others have said actually quite exciting if not a bit relaxing.

My tips on recovery would be to make yourself walk as quickly as possible and keep moving. The more you move and walk the quicker you will heal (slowly of course! but don't sit there in the bed all day, take short slow walks every hour or two, even if its just getting yourself to the bathroom without assistance).

Take colace before the surgery and after and take it for like 3 weeks, the pooping is the worst part of the whole thing. Focus on that first bowel movement, once that is over you're really all uphill and you don't want to get into a situation where its been a week. Truly its better to push yourself to get things moving on day 3 than it is to be REALLY stopped up on day 8. My primary focus for the whole first 10 days was making sure I didn't go too long without pooping. I would take fiber, colace, etc, anything to keep things moving (I didn't do this the first time and I would just not recommend that). [/quote]
