I threw up during my c section because I was do nervous but but everything part of my body was numb so I had to turn my head an let it run out.   Yuck! But yes eat alot the day before cause you can't eat 12 hours before an then that day you can't eat solids either. An just try to get some good sleep it's very quick an easy it'll be over before you know it

After you have your csec
If you need to sneeze or cough or even laugh hold a pillow to your tummy with a little pressure applied it will help brace your tummy and hurt less.

Also when moving around use your leg and arm muscles e.g. Getting in and out of bed. If you use your tummy muscles it hurts!!

Also take it easy fo not push yourself past what you can handle and do not think of yourself as a faliure because you had to have a csec.

Gos blessed you with a beautiful healthy chilf and you have done the best you can :)

Bless you both and praying for  a speedy recovery :)
