Pregnancy Info HOME

First of all it depends on how your body reacts to the medication as to whether or not you will be "out of it or not," there is really no way to tell until you go through it. It usually does take some time-anywhere between 20 min to 2hrs, it also depends on how much anesthetic you have administered I personally never liked visitors on the very first day anyway, it was nice to take the time to rest up and just spend time with the baby and my husband, of course that too is up to you, you will be able to make those decisions after you have the baby too, just ask people to call first to see if you are up to having visitors. Usually you are able to sit up, you just need help, because the incision is so new you don't want to tear it and frankly it is quite painful to try and sit up on your own. I would recommend trying to sleep with your bed in the sitting position for the first couple of days, by the time you get home, practice rolling out of bed , not sitting up. however you also could be like some of the rare gals who have a higher tolerance to the pain and are in better physcal condition, you very well may be able to do it on your own any way. For right now try to relax about it you really won't know until it's all done and your really will have a better idea of what you will be able to do or not. The important thing is not to get too stressed out, I am sure that you will come through this just fine! Congratulations on your new baby and enjoy!!!
