After Birth

Ok I'm 35 weeks tomorrow. What should I expect after giving birth? From the first couple days while still in the hospital to the 6 weeks postpartum. How did you feel? Does your stomach go back to not feeling like you've been doing sit-ups for weeks? That's how mine feels anyway. So tired and heavy. Also how fast did you not look pregnant anymore? And what can I refuse at the hospital (like nurses coming in and doing, cuz honestly I feel like I'll get frustrated with them constantly being right there like I've read stories of).
