Painkillers after section, what did they give you?

[wingingit33]

I'm due my second section in 5/6 weeks. Last time I was given diclofenac in hospital and when out my husband was able to buy it as Voltatarol over the counter. But seems the tablet form has been discontinued? I can't take codeine based painkillers as already struggle with constipation. What were you given?

@della2404 24 hours is what they aim for these days, sometimes goes a little over if they're too busy to do the paperwork. Hope all goes well

24 hours after my planned section a few months ago. 48 hours with my first emcs. If you are up and moving about as soon as you can feel your legs and passing urine once the catheter is out, feeding is established and you are feeling ok they should let you out after a day. 2 nights max.
