These are some things that you can discuss with your Doctor about your recovery process for your benefit.
The top things I have discovered are:
A Pain management doctor told me he thought the best sewing was this: Sewing up of the peritoneal sac, to reduce chances of adhesions between organs and muscle layer, but it can create inflammation. Also ask for the subcutaneous layer to be sewn, straight line, no end knots
For the subcutaneous layer: A straight line suture under the skin, with the ends open, then ends glued, then top skin folded over, and that outer layer glued.
Request a lower horizontal cut on uterus so that chances of rupture and vbac are less likely. Double sewing of the uterus is good, but can create inflammation and takes more time for Doctor.
Have someone else can come into the room after your husband (partner) goes to the neonatal unit and hold your hand while they close you up. You can say ,no, to tying your hands down during csection.
You can ask for blood to leave cord, so baby gets as much as they can, and for the placenta to take home- if you want to plant a tree, etc.
Warm soups, or foods that won't bind your stool are best for first few days along with whole grains, like steel cut oats that help produce milk for baby. Smoothies and other liquid food in summertime while in Hospital. Remember, pain killers can create constipation, so be prepared, or ask for colace.
You can ask for help from the nurse to put on belt and get out of bed. Remember to put on belt before you get out of bed or roll over.
Wear the belt while you are on the toilet. Please for your comfort, and open every couple of hours to let skin breathe.
Take care!
