As a nurse, I know the value of getting up and about ASAP, so I was up and in the shower about 5 hrs after my csec, oh god it was painful, but I knew it was best so, I struggled through. I went home at day 3 coz I wanted to be with the big girls too. I also had voltaren suppositories, I HATED having to get up, out of bed, was fine once I was up, but it was the going from lying to standing I hated the most, but I guess the BAD pain, was only for a week or so, then it started to ease off. They are shocking hey girls, and I dont think anyopne would do it for fun hey!!
