So nervous but 100% excited to meet our little man

I have no clue what to expect but I'm feeling very positive

Hoping the recovery isn't to painful. I assume they will fill me in with all the details on my pre op phone call 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good luck! I would highly advise buying some of those c section maternity knickers from Boots, or very high waisted pants. And peppermint tea - I found the gas pains tricky to deal with and peppermint tea was an absolute godsend!

@zeromango thank you I have bought some high waisted knickers that are bigger than my normal size but I will definitely invest in some peppermint tea I didn't know about gas pains

@2weekstogo second the peppermint tea! Put it in your hospital bag! It was the worst part after my c section the gas pain in my shoulder and ribs was so awful! I wish I'd known about peppermint tea sooner!!
