How to take care of yourself after a caesarean section

1. Drink plenty of water. Women who have undergone caesarean section should drink plenty of water during the confinement period. This not only prevents constipation but is also beneficial for breastfeeding.

2. Take care of the wound. Try not to make any big movements after giving birth. Even when coughing or laughing, you should support the wound with your hands or use a pillow to support your stomach, and your pain will be relieved. In particular, wounds should be well cared for to prevent infection. If you notice any symptoms such as fever, redness or swelling, you should seek medical attention immediately.

3. Observe the lochia carefully. There will be a lot of vaginal discharge after giving birth. But over time, the amount of lochia will decrease. The color should gradually change from bright red to pink and then yellow-white. Careful inspection of lochia is a must for women who have undergone cesarean section. If any abnormality is found in the lochia, they should seek medical attention immediately.

4. Wear loose clothing. Mothers should choose a larger size of drawstring underwear or boxer briefs.

5. You can do moderate exercise. You can start doing some moderate exercise 6 to 8 weeks after surgery, but you must get the doctor's approval before doing so. It may take several months to return to your original physical condition.

6. Contraception should be used after childbirth. If you feel well after delivery, you can resume sexual life in 4 to 6 weeks. However, women who have had a caesarean section are not suitable for immediate pregnancy. Therefore, if you want to have sex after giving birth, you must take contraceptive measures.
