Planned C-Section Question...

[fairyprncesleah]

okay- this is gonna sound silly- but...
Can you wear make-up during the surgery? It sounds vein, but my skin has gotten SOOO bad, and with DS1 the emergency c-section happened after I was already in labor for over 24 hours- so I didnt have any makeup left on anyway.
My sister is going to be documenting the whole thing for me so my DH can feel as much as a part of it as possible- and I want to look as decent as possible!

After my last c-s I had MAJOR swelling- like crazy- has anybody had extra swelling because of the surgery- or I wonder if my swelling was because of the long labor before hand.

Also- I am nervous about the cathetar- although I wish I had one ALREADY... do they give it to you before or after you are numb down there???
