An enema? Really? Haven't had one with either, but then I've never had any issues with that "region" after either of my sections. Do tell.

Yeah, an enema. Completely clears the bowels (as well as an enema can/does) and cuts down on gas.
Even though you're not supposed to eat midnight before the surgery, you'd be surprised the number of women who wait til 1145 and chow down, then 3 hours after surgery need to poop. THAT'S NOT FUN!
It really did help, for me, with the whole standing and moving about thing.
I nearly DIED having Braden. It still pisses me off...because it was NEEDLESS.
I'm going to say this to all of y'all:
You're the patient. YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTHCARE AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT ENDANGERING YOURSELF OR YOUR CHILD.
YOU have the right to tell your anesthetist you want an epidural, or if you prefer, a spinal block.
YOU have the right to tell the nurses they are NOT catheterizing you without pain meds. That shit is needlessly uncomfortable on you and you know what? IT CAN WAIT TIL YOU'RE IN THE O.R.
YOU have the right to tell the CRNA that you aren't comfortable with her service, or a nurse.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE DECISIONS WITH REGARD TO YOUR HEALTHCARE.
NEVER forget that.
