With DD1.. honestly i dont remember.. i was off my head on pain meds.. couldnt tell ya!

With DS i had him at 6:48am.. i was back in the ward by mid morning and i think i got a bit of a wipe down, but nothing fancy. I remember asking the mw to take my catheda out that night and she refused coz it meant she would have to help me up to go to the loo all night (even though DH was there)- i think they got around to taking the catheda out at like lunch time the next day and i was soooooo happy to get into a shower, get some undies on and wear a proper pad!!!!

With DD2 i had some idea what i was in for so when they said we were schedualed for the c section that morning (i had been in the ward for a night due to labour starting but not progressing enough to do the csection right away.) i made sure i showered before i went to theatre!!! DD was born in the afternoon, again i got a little wash, but nothing fancy. This time though my catheda was taken out first thing the next morning and i got to shower!!
