I find it helped enormously to think about caring for my DD afterwards and focused on bfing and having her with me. I was keen to stop using the patient-controlled painkiller drip-thingy so that I could get up and about as well.

Also, doing leg stretches, etc when feeling starts to get back into them so I could walk, ditch the catheter and have baby in the room with me.

Hope she recovers well...
