A good example of what to report is if you have received an email promising that you have won a MicroSoft X-box - if you have - DELETE IT !! There have been many complaints about fradulent spam regarding this. Victims have never received X-Box and sometimes have had additional charges put on their cards. The old addage rings true, if it's too good to believe then it's probably not true.

Your best protection is to check out any offers or prizes BEFORE you give them your account information as "free lunches" usually turn out to be most expensive.

4) When time comes and nurses and/or doctors tell you to walk around, do try. It may be difficult but do try to do a little walking if and when possible. It helps to alleviate stomach gases that are very much a part of discomfort you feel after a C-section.

5) The day arrives when you and your newborn can finally go home. Enlist support! Ensure that you have family, friends or loved ones to assist you and, once again, do not be afraid to ask for help. Do not try to be supermom! I was fortunate to have a supportive family at home and could not imagine going through recovery without them. It will take you 6 weeks to fully recuperate from a C-section, afterall, it is major surgery.

6) Do not pick up heavy items. Remember, you have just had surgery and your incision is in healing process.

7) Ensure that you eat healthy and drink lots of water. This is important to ensure that your digestive system returns to normal.

8) Get plenty of rest and take time for yourself. Vital for recuperation is to get plenty of est. Enjoy this period of relaxation because you have many years of motherhood to go!

9) Enjoy this special time with your new baby!

Oh, 18 months after birth of my daughter, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy via a scheduled C-section. The second C-section was easier. I am grateful to have two healthy children who are joy of my life, irregardless of how I delivered them.
