Hi, I had 2 c-section. I didn't bath for a week coz of the bandage, I didn't want to get it wet. So I just use a wet towel to clean myself.

Just to let u know, because your tummy was sliced, you will feel pain for about 2 days after the op. So take pain killer after you r off the anesthetic, trust me, it is quite painful. Once you are off the drip and comfortable, try to move n walk. Though it is painful when you first try to stand, this pain will go away in a very short while and you will feel much better after that.

I went to Mt A, food n water was plenty. Depends on what u like/believe, I didn't have any special food/herbs/red date water after i give birth. I ate normal food, same as my family members.

if the day u operate u haf enuff rest till nxt day, then nxt day sure got energy to bath 1. At least i feel rather refreshing during the nxt day n went ahead to bath.

For me I stayed in kkh and I hardly ate their food, because I am a picky eater and their food sucks. So most of the time I eat food that my mother cook and then my husband wil bring it over for me.

hahah!!!! wow!!!! i loved to eat before preggy and so DH and I always go buffet.
But totally hate it when preggy when DS...

I ate only lemon biscuits and coke with lemon slices. I even hate the smell of rice!

& now preggy with DD, I LOVED to eat, esp fish, rice (normally 2 bowls for dinner), anything! and hungry easily, just cant stopped eating.

Meiji cocoa fresh milk, 1/2 - 1 botl at 1 go until gynae ask me to STOP. hahah

but funny enough, once DS born I can take fish soup the next morning. . . my 2nd meal . . . (DH says its all in my mind)
