Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 4
)
C Section Recovery
If a Csection has become a necessity, gently remind your husband that there will be NO SEX for 6 weeks, and NO Vacuuming for YOU. Ah, shucks!
Some drugs are OK.
Your obstetrician will leave orders for heavy duty pain medication available for your use for the first 48 hours. Do not be a martyr. Use them. You have years and years ahead of you to play the role. For now, lessen your pain, gain back your mobility and get at least one last good night´s sleep.
Bathroom Priveledges
Re) Learning good posture is never as important as now, immediately following abdominal surgery. This holds for when you have to lower yourself onto a toilet seat. The term ´squat to pee´ holds a lot more meaning now, especially when your arms are being used to hold your incision area like a splint.
Pain is the Real Thing
Having real help in the first week or two at home after caesarian section cannot be overdone. You may have prepared meals in advance and done all the laundry, but tasks that were once no-brainers, like opening or closing the dishwasher take on a whole new dimension - pain. Use your tolerance level as an indicator of how much is too much and increase only a little at a time.
