Answer(s) to this Question (

C Section Recovery
Recovering from C Section? Do not lift ANYTHING heavier than your baby until your first Dr. visit at six weeks after surgery. Beware grocery shopping!
C Section Recovery
Recovering from C Section? Do not do any vacuuming until at least 6 weeks after surgery. The pull of the machine is deceptively strong and too much for your healing abdomen to handle.
Deep breathing and coughing
Deep breathing and coughing is a required excercise post general anaesthetic. Grab a pillow. Hold it as tight against your abdominal dressing as you possible can. Then do it. Big breath in. And huff cough. The splinting of your incision will help lessen both the pain and the fear of pulling everything apart.
Lochia
If the lochia (post delivery bleeding/period) has changed to blood streaked or clear, then suddenly changes back to real blood, mentally review your recent activities. Often this is a sign that you have overexerted yourself with what you ´thought´ was just enough. Sit down and relax and go back to the day before´s acheivements.
