for new mums

Hi there,

Your advice is spot on . . I have had 2 c-sections and I learnt quickly that hairdryers were an excellent way to help keep my scar nice and dry and walking with your back straight is excellent way of helping with the healing .. C-sections are so very very painful and making sure that your recovery is done correctly is the best way of achieving a great outcome .

Cheers Kellz

good advice also no hanging washing on the line no lifting anything above your babies weight .

but other than that great advice

 Any advice in helping Mums after surgery is good advice....thanks for sharing.

Cheers Janice

yeh i forgot about that no driving for 6 weeks and no heavy work. even though i did and got into trouble from my hubby.

it was hard for me as id never researched into it. which i should add if you have elective cesa then research.

good article xx

All valid points - also due to having had what is essentially abdominal surgery it is good to have people around to assist with daily chores and driving places etc. 

The usual rules are 'no heavy lifting and no driving for up to 6 weeks'.  Make the most of your partner and friends in this time.  Of course it is not always possible to get this kind of assistance, but above all else you must ensure that you don't overdo things - healing takes time and bub needs you long term as well as in these first few special days/weeks.

Peace

Good Advice.

I have had 2 c-section and for the first week or 2 at home i lived in tracksuit pants.
