I’m having my second in July and this time it’s a scheduled c-section. My first was an emergency so not sure how similar afterwards is. This one is scheduled at 7:45am and I thought I would be off everything and up and walking around that evening but my doctor informed me I’ll be hooked up to the catheter and IV till the following morning...😑 no cool. What was everyone else experiences the first day? And anyone have either second or third only have to stay 2 nights instead of 3? Thanks!
