How long after caesarean section can I get out of bed and walk

Caesarean section is a very common way for women to give birth. Many women will stay in bed after caesarean section because they will feel pain at the incision site, and if they do some exercise, it is likely to cause the incision to crack, which is not good for women's recovery. Therefore, the postoperative care of caesarean section is longer than that of natural birth. So how long after caesarean section can you get out of bed and walk?

You can do some simple limb activities 6 hours after a caesarean section. This needs to be done gradually. Do not do large or strenuous exercises. When lying in bed, do not lie flat on the ground. Bending over appropriately when walking can reduce abdominal tension and relieve incision pain.

After a caesarean section, you have to fart before you can eat, so you must get up early and walk around to promote intestinal peristalsis. However, you must be careful with the wound and walk slowly to avoid involving the wound. If the doctor asks you to get out of bed and walk, you must follow the doctor's instructions. Appropriate exercise will not easily cause uterine adhesions and will also promote uterine contraction.

Generally speaking, you can get out of bed and exercise 2 days after a caesarean section, but patients should pay attention to the need to take it slowly, and must proceed step by step according to each person's specific situation. Do not do sudden strenuous exercise. You should get out of bed first and walk slowly to adapt, and then go out for a walk when you are fully adapted.

Initiatives

I hope the patient will try to walk as much as possible and not lie in bed for a long time to avoid losing consciousness.

Precautions

If it is the first time to go out for a walk, it is recommended that the patient be accompanied by family members to avoid other adverse conditions. Do not eat too spicy food and pay more attention to rest.
