C section was easy fast and non painful when I got the epidural at 5 cm. Didn't feel any pain except trap gas up in my shoulder that was painful. But get lots of rest, try not to sneeze that will make it hurt. I took the pain medicine after surgery.

My scar never itched much and no you dobt need to :)

Grab a pillow to brace your belly (push down on) when you sneeze or cough. And dont use your tummy muscles to move to bigin with just your legs and arms :)

I had an epidural but it didnt work and i felt the whole thing from first dlice to last stitch. Mske sure you let them know if you can feel anything

I can not remember how long it took ruffy an hour maybe hour nd half ?

Enjoy your little one tomorrow :)

I got an epidural and it didn't work at all...They ended up putting me to sleep because I could still feel everything. I don't really know how long it took, being that I was asleep. I got up the next day to take a shower, which wasn't so bad after I got on my feet but the pain wasn't really unbearable. I did take paim meds though. My incision was really small and it hurts to cough and laugh but they tell you to do it anyway so you won't get pneumonia. Take things slow when you get home, but I will say, the more you move around the faster you'll heal.
