[quote=Anonymous]1. The incision area won’t feel right for a while. I didn’t like anything brushing against the incision for YEARS. It wasn’t pain, but it was an uncomfortable feeling.

2. Buy granny panties that ride up high and cover the scar. I’m 6 years out from my c-section and still can’t wear low cut underwear.

3. As others said, stay on top of the pain meds.

4. Get up and walk arounD ASAP. I was hobbling around while still catheterized and remember looking down and seeing blood dripping down by leg and feeling supremely horrified. It was normal. There will be blood. Still walk around.

5. If at one point during the c-section, your spouse whispers into your ear, “don’t look to your right, there’s a bucket that’s filling up with your blood,” by all means don’t look right.

6. Each hospital is probably different, but I was very opposed to having my arms strapped down. I stated this ahead of time and my arms were never strapped.

7. Enjoy that morphine drip while it lasts. [/quote]
