Don't hold out on ur pain meds, take them as they let u. I tried and it was effin horrible pain! It gets better, I promise. Try 2 get up and walk around although that's the exact opposite of what u want to do. It helps w a quicker recovey! I swore by my high waisted tightening panties. In hospital I used the binder then when I went home the tightening of the underwear helped me feel somewhat normal.

I have one buy its just awful pain @graciebaby

Ask if they have a belly binder. It helps w the feeling of everything falling out. some hospitals provide only if asked.
