c section

Hi Everyone, I am having my c section tomorrow.I have to be at the hospital at 10 am. This is my first child and my first c section. This will be my 3rd surgery with in a year and a half. last one was in oct. Does anyone have ay advise  or tricks  to getting  better quicker or moving around better or  anything of that nature or things not to  do please let me know.  Thank you guys for all of your help you guys have been very helpful to me and I really appreciate it. You guys rock! Thank you  again.

Don't have any advice for you as far as the c-section...I have not had one...but wanted to wish you luck tomorrow!  

I know this is late, but I had my c-section on Wednesday the 14th.  This is my second one, but the first one was 7 years ago so I was a little scared.  My advice is get up and around as soon as possible.  This really helps with recovery.  Don't be crazy and overdo it, but walking as soon as they will let you out of bed is a lifesaver.  I don't have any other advice beyond that, I'm 4 days post op as of today and I feel pretty good. I think I did too much yesterday by going to Walmart and doing some stuff around the house, since I woke up feeling pretty sore.  I'm definitely taking it easier today.  Congrats on your new baby :)

I'm a little late on this too. Not sure if you have a panni (hanging skin on lower abdomin, not sure if I spelled it wright) but I was told by my OB to keep a clean dry washcloth in the fold to avoid moisture and bacteria. Also I wish I would have known how much less pain I would be in if I put my roll over yoga pants on in the hospital! The way they suck you in, takes a lot of pressure off of the incision. My skin was hanging and causing more pain!
