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!

FTM too! Elective c section at PEH cause I have low to zero pain tolerance. Take the painkiller on time even after discharge. The discomfort is actually not so bad, I feel that it’s more on the physiological part and self scare. I managed to walk up and down the stairs once discharged. The stitches were self dissolved type. The wound was covered by a pad. I only removed it after the confinement month (I only wipe clean, no shower). So far so good. My scar is smooth and not very visible. Apply the scar gel religiously ya.
