Hi! Had CS a year ago and stayed in the hospital for 5days at least...takes longer to heal but to speed up recovery try to be mobile once you are confident enough to move around, its painful but it helps. I just hate the catether bec u need to carry this wee bag when you walk aroundOriginally Posted by Jay&Zobel
The midwives will ask you to shower in a few days and you need to take the plaster off, they will assists you anyway if you needed help. Easier to peel it off after leaving it wet with soap for a few minutes. It will be sore and looks horrible at first but will get better eventually. My friend suggested wearing an elastic waist band and it did help specially when you need to get up from bed or worst if you need to cough. It holds your tummy so it doesnt hurt that much. Use it until you feel comfortable without it. Im planning another CS when I give birth on May
Hope that enlightens you
