Hahn mines on 27th nov so far I am more excited than nervous! To date all I have done is cook and frozen some dinners and soups so I can try and eat well in the recovery phase. Would love to hear if anyone has any other tips!

Ah I am a complete rock star me! If my husband is looking after me and the kids for a week, it could be the difference between eating and not eating!

I already had mine from pregnancy but I think I just got it from Argos a few years ago. Someone on here got it from eBay really cheap.

do start creaming loads, obviously not on day of op but it will help with the stretch marks and get your skin ready! but if you basically got V pillow comfy pjs that are easy to get on and off and a good sports bra (2) then your sorted and lots of orange/pineapple juice xxx
