Can anybody give me c-section recovery advice ?

I was induced with misoprostol ( to soften the cervix) I started that at 1 am Tuesday morning.The nurse started my pitocin at 5 am and by 11 I was only dilated to a 2 so my doctor turned off my epidural and my contractions were coming every 2-3 minutes. My babies heart rate dropped to under 100 and I had an emergency c section. Now I am having the WORST gas pain I've ever had. I can feel it. But it just won't come out .. I had warm prune juice and mylicon. I've heard that walking is the best way to relieve gas pain but I needed a blood transfusion afterwards and I can't Get up to walk around yet .. They just keep offering me prune juice and mylicon until I can get up to walk. What are some ways you relieved gas pain after your c-section ? Positions?

    Keep switching positions. Lay on your left side for a bit. Then your back and then your right side. Keep doing that. And also take into account that it may not be gas pain at all. You had major abdominal surgery. The pain could be from that.
