Why can’t it.....

It's not very pleasant, is it?

I found that not only was my tummy quite swollen (sp?), it was really unpleasant having anything (such as a waistband) sitting on it - which is why I opted for the preggy pants. My skin seemed to be really sensitive. I couldn't get away with gym pants at work, but no one noticed the difference with the preggy pants.

Make sure you take care and rest up - I found that when I started to feel better, I was inclined to do more, and usually ended up curled up with my wheat sack again with my husband growling in the background So, don't make that mistake!

Oh, and a wee tip - depending on what your periods were like before AF (eg. light/medium), be prepared for it to be *very* heavy when it arrives after the op. I got caught extremely short as far as supplies went
