Another thing I remembered. When you do pick bubs up don't sit in your bed and lean over because that will put way to much strain on your wound. Make sure you stand up and keep your back straight, no twisting. Believe me, the temptation to stay in bed and pick bubs up when you are sore and exhausted will be there.
And as Bx said, big pants. I remembered the big undies, but brought low waisted pants. They sat right on the wound.
