1st baby via c-section in 4 wks any advise????

[Peg]

Thanks Teresa! TBH I think the catheter is one of the main things I feel anxious about..............

they put the catheter in after the spinal, so you wont even know its happened unless they tell you they are doing it

But i had a catheta put in for my first labor because my bladder was absolutely full to the brim, and it didnt hurt...felt a little strange but its not painful

My best tip is to go out and buy two packs of those big cottontail undies, about two sizes bigger than you'd normally wear. I found my other undies sat right on my scar and rubbed against it, but once I had these I was so much more comfortable because they sit up past your belly button. You'll feel like Bridgette Jones but who cares!

I've had two c-sections and both were really great experiences, enjoy your little baby it's such a special time!

Thanks guys

you really do feel like you are in good hands when you have a c-sect...lots of people fussing over you and telling you whats happening the whole way

come back and let us know how you get on.
