How long can I eat after a caesarean section

Caesarean section can be said to be a surgery that is neither big nor small, because the woman's body needs a very long time to recover after a caesarean section. Moreover, women cannot eat immediately after a caesarean section, because the gastrointestinal motility of women will be affected to a certain extent. This is mainly because the anesthetic injected during the caesarean section affects the female stomach. So how long after a caesarean section can you eat?

After a cesarean section, you usually have to wait a day before you can eat. After a cesarean section, gastric motility is restricted because a large amount of injected anesthetic causes gastric motility to stop. You should wait until the anesthetic has dissipated and gastric motility returns to normal before eating. If you eat before gastric motility returns to normal, it is likely to cause indigestion. During meals, you should eat more porridge and don't eat too hard food. Too hard food and food that is difficult to digest may cause indigestion and trigger other digestive diseases. Doing these is beneficial to the health of pregnant women.

1. After a cesarean section, you should also pay attention to your food hygiene. Try to eat more vegetables and fruits, and easily digestible foods. Do not eat spicy foods. The gas discharge can be completed one day after the cesarean section. After the gas discharge is completed, you can eat properly. At this time, you can drink some milk or eat some porridge, which can replenish your physical fitness and have certain benefits for pregnant women.

2. You can drink water appropriately within six hours after the cesarean section, but you must wait 24 hours before eating. This is because eating too early after the cesarean section may cause indigestion and cause digestive system disorders. You can eat normally on the second day after the operation, and eat more porridge when eating. Normal digestive symptoms can be restored on the third day after the operation.

3. During the cesarean section, you should pay attention to conditioning measures. Timely conditioning of your body is conducive to improving your physical fitness and is also conducive to postpartum preventive measures. The physical condition of pregnant women after cesarean section is relatively weak, so preventive measures should be taken at this time to prevent other diseases from occurring. You should eat in time to replenish your body's energy and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
