oh and as for the recovery etc, it was actually rather good for me. the 1st day ur not aloud to be up and about cos of the epidural, and u would have a catheter (not sure if spelt ryt). the next day i had it taken out and was aloud to get up and walk about. i stayed in 3nights in total. the day i got out i felt fine and was out walking in the town. i think every1s recovery after is different. they do offer u parcetamol but i didnt need it. this time i could be out by 2nd day as long everything is ok, plus i will have the extra support at home. if someone i knew was to get a section i could happily help them out and let them know its not actually that bad. though i would say a emergency section would be scary just because its not what u expected xxx
