Congrats OP! I have a scheduled C-Section in 2 weeks and all of these tips are helpful. I would add that I just did the online C-Section video class through Inova Alexandria; it was pretty good and you may learn some new information. I've had a myomectomy in the past and that was painful so based on that experience this is what I'm doing to help with recovery:

- Gas X, that gas pain was intense!

-Stool Softeners, already on them now due to Iron supplements

-Bought Frida Mom C-Section disposable underwear for first few weeks + Granny panties

-Big Sanitary pads

-My mom bought me a bunch of caftans on her last India trip to wear at home but I did buy some loose nightgowns too on Amazon

-Packing my breast friend pillow to take to hospital

-Limiting stairs to only 1x a day and having a baby station set up on main floor so that I don't have to run up and down

-Finally, making a play list for the OR to help distract!

Good luck[/quote]

Steps are a much bigger issue for those who had a vaginal delivery than a C-section.
DON'T VACUUM for a few weeks. Get someone else to do it for you.
