Netty, take big undies hun, ones that will go over your wound, putting a pad over your wound will protect it alittle and make your pants alot more comfy.

Take some magazines, an eye cover thing, so you can sleep or atleast rest during the day and maybe some ear plugs. Nothing worse than waking up to every ones elses babies screaming when yours is sleeping away.

Wishing you a speedy recovery hun, try not to over do it, you will tire very easily after surgery.

Caro, they like to do the section in your 38th week as they don't want you to go into labour, they'd rather do it when it was convenient for them, not for the baby. Of course they don't see it that way though and will say that it's better to do a planned c section as opposed to an emergency one.
