It's been a long time since babies let alone a c/s for me and I just forget everything.

Firstly, after the procedure has been done, do they take the epi and cetheter out straight away?
And also, say I have it in the morning, am I able to try and get up in the afternoon or do I have to wait until the next day?

Thanks in advance.
I have had 3 c/s now but my last one is what I will go on experience wise

I had a spinal block and had a different type of mixture so I didn't stay numb for as long. Also the nurse in recovery put oxygen on me and slowly sat me up and I was back in my room within the hour where as the last 2 times I was numb for to long and stayed in recovery for close to 2 hours.

Catheter was taken out in the evening. DD was born at 10:30. I was up 5 hours after c/s to go see bub as she was in SCN. That in hindsight was way to soon but I felt the need and didn't suffer anything for it.. I got up again the following later that evening but bub was brought to me so I didn't have to do too much.. I left having a shower till the following morning
