How to recover after cesarean section

Many people are reluctant to choose caesarean section when they are pregnant, because it is very harmful to the body and because there will be unsightly scars on the abdomen after the operation. However, if natural birth is not an option, they can only choose this method. How to recover effectively after caesarean section? This needs to be mastered by everyone.

1. Fitness exercises. Restorative exercise must be decided by a gynecologist based on the results of the follow-up examination. Bao mothers usually have their first checkup on the 45th day after giving birth. The checkup items include weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, urine routine test, blood routine test, normal bone density and other internal medicine examinations.

2. It is generally recommended to slowly resume fitness exercises 6-8 weeks after giving birth. Before 6-8 weeks, it is recommended that mothers focus on gentle exercises such as walking in the park. Appropriate exercise is of great help to the healing of wounds. After the wound heals, you can gradually increase your resistance to pressure, such as running, brisk walking, etc.

3. Give priority to starting recovery with gentle, low-intensity exercise. Many mothers may have the habit of doing some strenuous exercise before pregnancy, but the exercise after giving birth is different from that before giving birth. It must be gentle and not too intense. Because there is a lack of exercise during the nearly 10 months of pregnancy, if you exercise vigorously, the body muscles will suddenly bear too much pressure and the body may not be able to adapt. It is not recommended to do strenuous exercise at the beginning.

4. Can be corseted. Mothers who have undergone cesarean section should first consider protecting the wound when exercising. Wearing a corset can be used to maintain your figure and protect the wound from excessive friction damage.

However, the recovery rate of cesarean section is still relatively slow. New mothers must be patient, pay attention to rest, and supplement more nutrition to recover faster.
