[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had two:

1) Start with miralax as soon as possible.  Do everything you can to keep the poop moving.  Agree the first poop is brutal an even with stool softeners and high fiber diet, many women go many days without being able to poop.

2) Steal all the mesh underwear from hospital.  It is so comfortable with the incision.  Don't plan on wearing anything below that incision -- with a planned, they cut low.  Wear something high waisted and soft, like lounge pants.

3) Sometimes you get weird referred pains like shoulder pain.

4) Some doctors use staples instead of stitches.

[b]5) They put a big sticky cover over the incision.  If you're allergic to sticky on bandaids, tell them in advance.  I had a massive allergic reaction over my incision, and it was brutal.[/b]

I slept flat and it was fine, but I rolled over to sit up.

ME TOO! This is the first time I’ve heard someone else say they experienced it. All the staff I saw in the hospital seemed totally baffled by it and did NOT give me the right treatment. It was awful. We didn’t everything to avoid it with my second c section at a different hospital but I still reacted but at least this time I got a quick visit from an in house dermatologist who prescribed better meds to treat the itching, burning and swelling. (Also I had no idea I was allergic to adhesives before my first c-section. I’d never reacted to a bandaid.)[/quote]

PP here and I had this too[/quote]
