Tips for healing?

I just had my second child this week on 11/11 I went in and made no progress for some time so myself and my provider decided to move on to a c-section as I had a bunch of troubles throughout pregnancy as well as my baby was pretty large. My first was a vaginal birth, so this is a hard and really difficult to be healing from and I feel like I didn’t fully process how hard this was going to be. I’m in so much pain, and so sluggish at the moment as I know is probably normal. However I need some tips to help ensure healing/and successful recovery. I’m not even sure where to start.any tips would be amazing, I’m being discharged any moment now and going to pick up my 7 year old to say I’m anxious would be an understatement…

Hi Hannah, I had a c section also. The best tip I have is to try to get up and move as much as you safely and comfortably can. I had a really hard time with constipation from the sedation and pain medication…make sure you make provision to get some aids on hand to help just in case. That will increase your comfort level quite a bit! Good luck!
