Hi and congrats on your up and coming birth!
Now granny undies are great but i have found something thats even better than them!!! I am not sure where else you can get them but i know you can order them online through the new beginnings website ( ihope its ok to mention another site). Anyway they are called disposable pants.They are a net elastic type knickers they are great for both VB and C-sec but i highly recommend them for c-secs. They can be washed if you want or just chuck them away. These are there features :- hygenic soft breathable fabric, stretchable one size fits all, PERFECTLY suited for CAESAREAN/gynaelogical applications, Recuperation - allows skin/scar to breathe, and washable up to 20 times!!!!! Now some hospitals actually give you these either while in labour or straight after bubs is born. I know ours does,hence where i got the idea from. So i went in search and found them and i highly recommend them to everyone!!! It is seriously like you are wearing nothing at all..
Other than that do whatever helps you get through! I have had 2 c-secs now but my first was an emergancy c-sec and then i had for VB's and my last was elective c-sec as bub was in breech! I am in the process of doing mass research as i am expecting a surprise number 7 and really want to try to go VB again!
Good luck with your C-sec and i hope you have a speedy recovery! just make sure you have a good support network and accept all help offered, it really makes it so much easier!!!!
I didn't have a good support network and could only rely on DH who had to go back to work shortly after!!!!!!
Cheers
Kat
