Also a pro-tip for c section.

Ask for extra mesh underwear, or just pretend you ripped some in hospital and ask for more. Seriously, hord that shit and save extras for when you get home. That shit is COMFY and holds those ginormomous pads they give you for postpartum discharge very nicely.

Also if they don't automatically give you some sort of stomach binding to take home with you (looks like a weightlifting back brace for your stomach), get one. It helps keep your abdominal muscles from working so hard and helps them heal faster. Oh and while you're in the hospital, if you are getting more than one type of pain medication post surgery, ask them to stagger the meds so they wear off at different times. It's no fun when all your meds wear off at the same time and set your phone alarm for when each is supposed to wear off every time it's administered. Nurses get busy. Just buzz them and say it's time for drugs if they aren't already bringing them to you.

I've had 2 c sections and thankfully I got this advice prior to my first. Hope you don't mind the intrusion but I trumpet it to all. Both surgeries were very easy to recover from and pretty pain free despite my second c section being very complicated.

Best of luck to you!!

Thank God I'm not the only one! I too get weather related migraines also around my left sinus area. My personal theory is that it's related to barometric pressure changes. Previous doctors have poopooed my theory stating it probably more related to pollen counts or something and that linking pain to weather was just silly. Even when I stated that these horrible episodes usually preceded storms or occurred right after a storm passed over (regardless of the time of year) I was told it was purely coincidental. I finally found a doctor that doesn't think I'm totally nuts which is nice.

Currently battling a gnarly headache right now. Go figure it was storming all night last night and cleared up about an hour ago.

The best there is when it comes to Flim Flam.

Holy fuck you're the first person ever to get the reference! Lol!

You made my evening.
