So I have a few questions with c section.

So today I scheduled my c scheduled for next week but I was so excited I forgot to ask a few questions. So I have to be there at 9 to check in. When I get there and check in will I go straight to my room or sit in the waiting room for a min? Also do I need to go ahead and bring everything in with me or wait till I get my room? I have a photographer coming as well will she be allowed in the room or after the baby out? Is there any pain during or do you only feel pressure? How bad is the pain after?
