How about if your having a long ride home... Is there anything you guys would suggest for the ride home??? I had a C-section in January and the ride home sukd for me!!! And the ride from my surgery will be 3 hours until Im home.

A pillow!!! It was my best friend ....also I found useful... hair ties/clips & Chapstick ...

Good luck!! <3

Where would be a better place to sleep?

I slept in the lazy boy the first week plus a few days. Less pain getting up and down. Plus i was a tummy sleeper and didnt want to fall asleep and roll over. Once i got in bed lots of pillows.

Sofa might have worked to keep me of the tummy but then pain from getting up from laying on the sofa sucked.

I bought a bed rest pillow.

Lots of ice. And a body pillow.

I'm almost 2 weeks out and I'm still on the couch. And I go thru a bag of Ice a day. I keep ice packs on the drain sight. Pain meds and g2 Gatorade are my best friends oh and I can't drink shakes so I mix sugar free pudding a scoop of protein powder and a little milk delicious

My doctors office gave a list of items to bring to the hospital and what you should have when you get home. Chap Stick was my BFF in the hospital because you will not feel like eating or drinking and my lips get so dry. I wore very comfortable stretchie pants and big t-shirt to and from the hospital. I did my shopping before surgery for the protein, skim milk, ice pops, water, soup, yogurt etc etc.

I brought a small bottle of hand sanitizer, a bottle of my favorite lotion, babywipes, and earplugs. If you have a roommate, it could get noisy. I was constantly woken up by a telemetry monitor outside my room.

A friend of mine told me to get sippy cups and they worked great. Easy to monitor how much I was drinking and eliminated the air that you suck in with straws.
