Mine was left in for 24 hours. I had pain-killers via drip for the first 12 hours or so, then oral pain-killers.
Best wishes for the op. I was virtually pain-free afterwards and had no complications, was up & about after 24 hours.

Congrats! I beleive it was 24 hours, but I am not sure. I think I was up and walking around within 24 hours after birth. Just relax...the pain isn't that bad at all.

That is between you and your doctor. I bi tched and complained so much about my catheter that they took it out the evening after my c section. I was up walking around an hour after my sugery, I was peeing on my own that evening...right after they took out the catheter. I HATE dragging those bags around the hospital.
