Hello! I am a 24 year old mother of two. Both of my children were very large at birth (both by c-section) and I am myself a petite person so it caused me to have several stretch marks plus messed my belly button up. I'm having my surgery in about 5 weeks can't wait!!!! I will keep you updated :-) :-)

Good luck! You get to join the flat side a month ahead of me. I have to wait until my older kids are out of school for the summer as I won't be able to taxi them for a couple weeks. I'm not incredibly patient, but I've got to be in this situation.

Just thinking about things to pack for the hospital stay?! Any suggestions?

Gabrielle0509
So I will admitted to the hospital on May 12th 2014 and will be staying 2 nights and 3 days. I'm wondering what all I need to take? I have a couple of button up pajamas I recently bought since they will be easy to put on and off. I'm also wondering about the shower situation...Were any of you guys able to shower while still in the hospital or did you have to wait until you got home? If so how many days post op? So much going on in my head right now! I'm already nervous, mainly because I am scared of the pain. I have had two c sections so I'm familiar with abdominal surgery but still scared of the unknown! If anybody has any suggestions or comments I would appreciate your input!

I waited to shower when I got home. Ask your PS about Exparel. It is a 72-96 hour nerve block injection given during surgery. Kept me numb for days. I never had to take any pain meds. Good luck

Oh ok I have never heard of that medication before. I will definitely check on that. Thanks for the comment!!
