Twin C-section aftercare advice please.

What advice would you give about c-section aftercare? My twins are due Feb, and although I know I will be advised at my hospital appointments, I feel like sometimes it's good to get advice from different women on what worked for them.

Am I going into labor?

Contraction counter in photo, they’ve been short but consistently 3-4 minutes apart for 45 minutes. If this keeps up for the next 15 minutes is it safe to go in?

Stomach after water breaks

How did your stomach feel different after your water broke? I’ve been having really short frequent contractions for the past 24 hours and have taken a few warm baths to help with the pain.

Congestion

Hi all my baby is 2 weeks old today and suffering with congestion. He's giving out little snorts all the time, as much as it's adorable I don't like to see him suffer with it and it's making him over tired and grizzly. Does anyone have any advice if they've had this with their babies? Thanks all

Constipation

Has anybody struggled to go to the toilet during in pregnancy? I had a scare a week ago where I strained to hard and had a bleed and now my body has tensed up and I physically cannot go for a poo. I’ve ordered some constipation relief but it’s been 7 days and I’m worried it could harm the baby?!
