[quote=Anonymous]Single mom here w/ csection.... If you have no complications, skip the pain meds after 12 hours, use ibuprofen, and walk the halls slowly to loosen up and speed recovery. Sitting up or laying down hurts but the stairs were ok if taken slowly. Also coughing and sneezing hurt. I was ok with light household stuff, baby acare and driving (day after hospital release) but I had friends and relatives on call just in case. You may want to arrange for a lactation consultant to come to the house when your milk comes in, usually just as you are released. Don't fear the csection too much. My friends with difficult natural births were laid up longer than me and in more pain! [/quote]
