Hi
Does anyone know a good place to find practical accurate info on c-sections? I decided since it's looking that way for us that I needed to know a bit more, but don't want to terrify myself trawling the Internet reading horror stories!
I suppose I'm more interested in what happens afterwards and recovery rather than the actual procedure itself, like:
1. How do you wash? Can you get a bath?
2. Is it true you can't even lift your babies? If not, how do you cope with lifting them to feed them in the middle of the night? How long does that last?
3. How long does it take till you can get out and go for a walk?
4. How long does it actually take to heal so that you can drive? Is 6 weeks right?
5. How long does it take till you feel like normal and you can start exercising?
6. How long are you actually in hospital for? The stuff from the hospital says 5 days but I knew someone who was only in 2 nights with her first (and she couldn't get out of there quick enough!).
If anyone has the answer to these, thanks v much!
