With DS1 he was emerg cs at 2132 and I was out of bed showered and bathed DS1 by 1000.
DS2 was elective 0855 and I was not allowed up until the next morning (was going slightly batty stuck in bed)

I was out walking with pram after a week. Best not to do any more exercise than walking until 6 weeks as it is major abdoiminal surgery.

After cs your legs will start to get feeling back a few hours after you return to the ward, you will have your BP, temp, pulse, would, spinal site all checked 1/2 for 4 hrs then frequently for 24 hrs. You will have an IV drip going until you can eat, you will also have a catheter in your bladder until you are able to get out of bed.
