Is it normal to feel pain when getting out of bed the day after a cesarean section?

It is a normal physiological phenomenon that it hurts to get out of bed and move around on the second day after a caesarean section. This is mainly because getting out of bed can easily pull the wound, and the wound has not recovered yet, so it is normal to feel pain. The mother just needs to exercise with enough strength to avoid rupture of the wound. Generally speaking, doctors will recommend that women who have undergone cesarean section get out of bed and walk around the next day, mainly to promote the discharge of lochia and the contraction of the uterus.

The doctor will suggest the patient to get out of bed and move around the day after the cesarean section. Getting out of bed and moving around as soon as possible will help discharge lochia, promote uterine contraction, and prevent adverse conditions such as intestinal adhesions. Since the wound has not returned to normal the day after the operation and the wound healing is not very good, there will be some pulling pain when getting out of bed and moving around. If the pain is not severe, it is normal and the patient does not need to worry too much. The wound will heal slowly over time and the pain will gradually decrease and relieve. However, if the pain shown by the patient is very severe, painkillers or pain pumps should be used in time to relieve it. If abnormal symptoms such as redness and swelling of the wound are found, be alert to infection and inflammation. It is necessary to seek medical attention and treatment in time.

When patients get out of bed after surgery, they must not move too much. Do not walk too far at the beginning. You can move around by the bed. If you feel tired or in severe pain, you should sit down or lie down to rest in time. This will not affect your body's recovery or cause more pain to the mother. As the wound heals, you can slowly increase the activity time.

In addition to getting up and moving around in time after surgery, you should also pay attention to dietary conditioning. You should eat more foods that promote wound and uterine recovery. Your diet should be reasonably matched. It is better to eat more nutritionally balanced and non-irritating foods, such as: eggs, lean meat, mushrooms, coarse grains, soy products, fruits and vegetables, etc.

After a cesarean section, you need to rest for more than a month. You should not overwork during the confinement period. You should ensure that you sleep for more than eight hours at night. Good sleep quality is beneficial to your body's recovery. You must not take a tub bath or sit bath before your body recovers. Sexual intercourse is absolutely prohibited within 42 days after the operation. It is important to prevent the symptoms of intrauterine infection.
