So my section is done.... Pain wise I'm ok, however when I get up I'm so so so sore
My stitches feel like they're on fire and it's like s burning/ stinging sensation
No pain releif completely removes this! When I'm finally up I feel ok -ish just uncomfortable. But the transition is sore

Midwives are pleased with how I'm doing and said I can go home tomor row ( tonight is my first night)
Did anyone find they recovered better at home rather than in hospital?
I'm struggling at night when visiting is over and my help leaves :(

Yes, you roll onto your side, swing your legs off the bed and then push yourself up using your arms. Then use your legs to stand. Avoid using your stomach muscles.

keep moving as much as you can, the more you move around the better you heal!
