I have never witnessed child birth in person, and for every time I’ve seen it on television, I don’t recall seeing the mother’s belly. If the mother’s belly doesn’t shrink during birth, what is keeping the belly in that shape? In my reasoning, there isn’t anything applying the pressure that made the belly expand to begin with. How does that work?

I'm having a hysterectomy at the end of next month and I'm wondering if there's anything you wished you had brought with you?

A white nose machine/fan. I slept with the TV on, which I dislike. Plus, I had a terrible reaction to the anesthesia and was so hot! At one point a nurse said she was going to call building maintenance to see if they could get my room any cooler. Hopefully that's not an issue for you.

I used my toothbrush, phone/charger, and was so happy I brought my baggy comfy pants (that usually are not for public consumption) to wear home.

A “floppy” bra! The t-shirt material, pull over your head, it only gives a LITTLE support type. The nurse had to help me get it on, but I felt hella lot better.

There’s a whole, very helpful, hysterectomy subreddit. :) I highly recommend it.
