C-section delivery

So I am preparing mentally for a repeat c-section delivery (last was emerg and I have no desire to labor naturally this time )
So if you had a c-section what advise do you have .
Though mine was only 2 years ago now I can't recall details .

I know this time I will request the catheter be inserted after I am numbed .
And I will be asking my ob in advance what I can do about the referred shoulder pain because from all I can recall that was what bothered me the most throughout my recovery ...

But what are yor recommendations and advice?

Yeah
I would ask for the cath. after you are numbed also, that was very uncomfy as they entered it! Just be ready for them to make you get up and move around the next day. I had mine almost 7 weeks ago and it still hurts somedays...lol

Well, I am going to have my 3rd c section and to be honest with you...I don't think you ever really prepare for it...I tried to prepare for my second one but it didn't work...No matter how much alike they are..they are always different...I do have to say too however, that my first was an emergency c section as well.... and the planned ones are a lot easier to deal with.....
