My long time BFF just gave birth this arvo to a little boy via Caesarian section.
What should I know about helping out? What's recovery time like? How much blood is lost ( lochia) after a Caesarian? What was most helpful and useful for you after a Caesarian?
Why would the nurses not be encouraging my friend to express colostrum to give to her LO and giving him sugar water instead? He was born at 36+ 5 and his lungs are a bit wet and she had GD and high blood pressure and was diagnosed with bad preeclampsia today. He's in a humidicrip at the mo. I've fed her animals tonight and I need to cook some meals to stock her freezer. I'd love to clean her house but I think I should check with her first.
Ideas please!
TIA
