Caesarean section recovery-NUH

Hi, first time mom here and considering elective caesarean section at NUH. Highly appreciate some advice from mummies! 1. Any moms able to share about their recovery process for C-section? And whether it is at NUH or other hospitals. 2. Would you be able to breastfeed on the day of operation? Does the pain makes breastfeeding challenging afterwards? 3. For the wound, does NUH tends to use dissolvable stictches or would it be some kind of plaster? Did the scar heal fairly well afterwards? Thanks in advance!

I did elective c sect in NUH in 2022. 1. As long as I managed to get down bed on my own, remove urine bag and pee on my own, I discharge 3 days later. It’s actually save a lot on hosp bill! 2. Once I’m out of the theatre, they pushed me to an observation area. Immediately they brought baby for me to latch on and skin to skin. Once I’m able to feel my leg, then I proceeded to ward for recovery. Remember to ask for pain killer to make you feel better. I managed to tolerate the pain and breastfeed after the operation. 3. Dissolvable stitches. My scar healed well with no complications! I guess also depends on the skill of the doctor.
