When can I do sit-ups after a caesarean section?

We all know that women need the most care when giving birth, especially for women who have undergone caesarean section, which can cause great harm to the body. Of course, many people will do sit-ups to recover their bodies. For women who have given birth, doing sit-ups can bring great benefits to our bodies, not only will it make the body recover quickly, but when should we do it? Let’s find out when you can do sit-ups after a caesarean section?

Two months after cesarean section, you can do simple exercises such as sit-ups.

Thigh abduction exercise. Lie on your side with one leg on the bed. Use the same-side arm to support the body, place the opposite arm on the waist, and bend the opposite leg at the knee and then abduct it. Try to keep your pelvis as stable as possible during the movement.

Thigh adduction training. Lie on your back with your back flat on the bed and your hands at your sides. Roll up the quilt and hold it between your legs. Pull your legs together and try your best to hold the quilt.

Front thigh stretch. Kneel on the bed with your hands behind your back. Sit your hips down as far as possible until the front of your thigh is stretched. Most people do not need to stick their buttocks to their heels. They just need to sit down as low as possible to avoid straining their tendons.

Back thigh stretch. Sit on the bed with your legs together and straight. Stretch your arms forward as far as possible until you feel a stretch in the hamstrings. The movement should be maintained for about 15 seconds.

Chest contraction exercise. Lie flat on the bed, bend your legs, put your back directly above your chest, and hold the quilt with both hands. Push up just above the chest, then slowly lower to mid-chest position. The action needs to be repeated 10 to 15 times.

Hip crunch exercise. Kneel on the bed with your legs and hands supported. Tighten your abdominal and back muscles to keep your body stable. Push one leg back and up as far as possible, tightening the gluteus maximus on the same side. Alternate legs 10 to 15 times.

Now we know when we can do sit-ups after a cesarean section. Now that we know the correct time, we can use sit-ups to quickly restore our bodies. Only doing them at the right time will be good for our bodies. If we do it at an inappropriate time, it will not have the best effect, so we must understand it before doing it.
