Women are usually moved from the surgery room to a recovery room (not yet your hospital room) at this time so a nurse can tend to you as your anesthesia wears off.
As the effects of the anesthesia wane, you may begin to start feeling discomfort around your incision. Medication can be administered to manage this pain, so don’t be afraid to ask your nurse for information on pain-relief options.
Recovery from a Cesarean birth is often more uncomfortable and can take longer than a vaginal birth. But your health care team will be there for you during your recovery, helping you feel as comfortable as possible. When you are ready, you will be moved to a room for the rest of your hospital stay.
