Family will watch the kids and take care of her basic needs. If you had the surgery, what was your recovery like? Was it similar to a C-section in limitations and time? Anything that would have been especially helpful in recovery? How long was it before you were back to normal playdate activities (eg a trip to the zoo)?</p> <p>I'd also love to hear anything you'd want people to know about the surgery. Anything you wanted to hear (or hated hearing)? </p>
