2nd Time C-Section
I am having a repeat c-section on Tuesday morning. I had a good experience the first time and really didn't find it awful. That being said, does anyone have any suggestions to making it a little easier? Anything you remember doing that you think helped?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Re: 2nd Time C-Section
Mine is Tuesday morning too!!! Good luck to us BOTH.
The only thing that helped with the gas/digestion/etc issue for me in particular was drinking WARM---very little cold for me except some water--but mainly I drank warm water with lemon juice in it. Sounds gross but was very good. I'm not a "regular" person let's say--and I actually pooped at the hospital before leaving with no issue at all--which really eased my mind. I know--TMI but whatever.
I hear people say keep on the pain meds--which I'm going to do this time. I kind of fought it last time and not sure why--maybe because of BFing.
I also hear that the "binders" are good for the pain--I'm going to see if the hospital can supply one--otherwise I'll order one when I get home.

Notes:
hadn't thought about the yogurt--great idea!!!
I too kept a pack of the special undies--those were awesome. It's not like anyone sees them.
Any ideas of what to bring to help pass time?? I don't recall being bored last time but don't remember much either. I wish they had wi-fi

Notes:
They don't have wi-fi? That stinks. See if they have dvd players and bring some movies. Otherwise bring your laptop and watch stuff on that. And a book. I didn't sleep very well at night so those things helped me last time. Good luck with everything!
