C Sect preparation

1. Need to have mindset that its gonna be very painful the first few days, especially the first 2 days after operation, but itll get better, need to walk more. 2. Compression socks cause legs will be more swollen after operation, very swollen 3. You wont feel your legs until few hours later due to the anaesthetic. 4. Wear binder to keep the saggy tummy all together! Cause when the tummy sags down, itll put more pressure on the incision 5. For me to keep the incision as dry as possible, i only do wipe downs the first 2-3 weeks or so. Until incision is fully dry. Or if you bathe, remember to pat dry. 5. Just bring minimal, dont bother bringing pads or underwear cause theyll provide it. Just bring baby’s going home clothes, your going home clothes and some necessities like power bank and all. 6. Its perfectly fine if your colostrum is only like 1ml, hospitals are more than happy to provide formula. Or if you dont plan to breastfeed or pump, ask doctor for medication to stop milk production early. 7. Lochia will be aloooooot! So best to use those kotex overnight panties. 8. When sitting down on toilet bowl for business, dont open your legs too wide, itll be more painful on the incision. 8. Youll need alot alot of help during the first 2 weeks cause you can barely walk by yourself. 9. My biggest regret was to not use anti keloid gel or strip to the incision cause mine got big keloid. Take painkillers! The strongest will make you high and in and out of sleep btw.
