Only one week until she is here!! I am scheduled for my c section next Tuesday. Any tips on the best kind of underwear…

Take the time to heal. It’s really tough with another little one but you need to tell yourself the less you do, the quicker you’ll be able to recover and be there for him again.

My first cesarean I did way too much too soon and my recovery was terrible. I did as little as possible this time and was out and about pain free the following week

I wore the mesh the hospital provided and even ordered more for home. After that I wore the high waisted underwear so it went over my incision and wouldn’t rub.

The first two weeks I thought were the hardest and it took me weeks to want to go upstairs so I slept on the sofa. Don’t over do it and rest while you can.

Rest is the most important thing to do after a c section. I mean really relax but also walk around the house every now and again to avoid blood clots. Take the mesh undies from the hospital. Do NOT twist or stoop. Take the pain killers they prescribe. And listen to the advice the doctors give you for healing but listen to your body. I had one 4 years ago and it was brutal because I wasnt allowed to rest
