[quote=Anonymous]I had 2 C-sections. The first was an emergency and the second was planned. As others have said, make sure you have a stool softener and take it. Set alarms to remember to take your pain killers on time too. A nurse should come teach you the proper way to roll out of bed and how to stand up from sitting without popping stitches. If someone doesn't, ask before you leave the hospital. Make sure you have lots of throw pillows around the house, particularly in deep chairs. I sat with multiple pillows behind me to allow me to sit more shallowly in chairs, so I could stand up easier. Don't try to do too much, especially bending and lifting things. My doctor told me to basically only lift my baby. But going on walks once you're up for it is good.[/quote]
