I will be having a c-section booked for beginning of June. What have people done to prep for it and what do you do to help aid recovery and not have the C-section shelf, trying to get mentally prepared for everything.
Ice packs and lidocaine patches for the nerve pain helped me alot after my c-section once I was able to wash it I put my nipple balm on my scar (I know they make c-section specific creams but I already had it on hand and its basically the same thing). The scar is barely visible now. I also wore the stomach binder they put on me post op for like 2 months because it helped me feel less sore while doing things around the house and walking.
