Kim, I just went through the same thing in Jan. It was for the most part pretty easy. The worst was the pain from the gas they used to inflate my belly settled in my right side and shoulder for about 3 days. It really hurt to laugh, cough or sneeze so big tip - don't watch any comedies for a few days and don't let anyone tell you a funny joke. I was brought to tears by my brother from the pain of laughing at his joke.

I wish you the best of luck. Take it easy like the doctors say and let yourself recover (NO PICKING UP THE BABY! for at least a week).
