I had to have an emergency c-section last time which went horribly wrong

Hi,
I went through a 60 hour labour with my now 8 month old daughter and am now 5 months pregnant. I had to have an emergency c-section last time which went horribly wrong-I dont remember the first 2 days of my daughters life.I have been told strongly by my midwife and the surgeon who performed the last c-section that I have to have another caesear with this child. Im ok witht that but was wondering is there any way to prepare my body for what is going to go through again? And are there any natural medicines to help with the pain afterwards?
Thank you very much for reading this.

Answer: Hi Natalie,
You can try to have a healthy pregnancy and to do some regular exercise so that your body is fit and healthy for surgery. You should talk to the anaesthetist whom is performing the anaesthetic to you and they will be able to discuss your pain relief options. Any natural medicines will not really help in the first instance following the caesarean.
Best wishes,
Alex
