When is it o.k. to contact a friend after a scheduled c-section?

I'd call. I appreciated it when my friends/family called me. As long as they kept it short and sweet, I never felt encroached upon.

I loved hearing from my friends but I sometimes hated retelling what happened over and over.

I did feel overwhelmed with phone calls, but then again, it was my first and it was not scheduled.

I might send an email or even give a quick buzz to her DHs phone (if you know him and don't think that would be weird) just to check on her. My DH ran interference a lot for me with our friends and I appreciated it.

I made phone calls from the recovery room, but.... I would not want to take phone calls until several hours after....

Hope you get to visit. I've now had 3 kids (last 2 scheduled) by c-section. I will say that having visitors either while in the hospital or when I was early at home was the best for me. I wasn't supposed to be doing much physically and had more help then to just visit and hold the baby. And in my case go stir crazy because I couldn't do much. Especially with my third people waiting a couple of weeks because they didn't want to disturb us, but by then I was solo with all 3 and unless you were coming to play games with my older two it was impossible to visit.
