[quote=Anonymous]Much like everyone said 
Keep pressure on c section area before laughing or doing any type of reaching it will be extremely painful to cough, sneeze, laugh if you do not

Here’s my take:

Before you go under they give the sedating but it’ll make you cold and shiver 
- Don’t worry it’s normal, just mentally prepare for it because it’ll happen in seconds 
- Sing yourself you’re favorite songs or focus your thoughts on hearing your baby, think happy thoughts and try your best to remain calm
- After, you finally arrive to your room try your best to look up whenever you are allowed to walk again
Don’t look down because the blood rushes to your head, look up and take small steps

- if you nurse, football position will be your favorite so get a lot of pillows to support yourself 
- Don’t worry too much about looking at the scars, you’ll have to keep the gauze on them 
- when washing yourself for the first time, take deep breaths have someone help wash you but it’s better to be seated and have the wash cloth rinse water over you 
- keep the belly band on, it’ll help you SOOOO much because it’ll be the support that you need to walk around and feel stable 
- DONT DRIVE, bend over to pick things up, lift anything - just be patient with yourself... I wish I would’ve :’(

Clothing:

- Wear loose fitting clothing especially around the waist area nothing should be tight where you cannot move free or when you sit the band fits tight around your waist 
- the best pads and underwear are the ones given at the hospital they are wide and rise to your stomach plus cover your scar it gives soooo much support
( I took PACKS home of these underwear and large sized pads) 
- Wear shirts that button up, nothing that you have to pull over your head

For me, I should’ve sat myself down but I couldn’t

I now have keloids all where my scarring is because I didn’t properly let myself heal

It’s important to take these next two weeks and just be in the moment of motherhood

Relax and have family help you
