One week is so early - it's major abdominal surgery. I'm 7 weeks post c section now and only just feeling like I'm getting back to normal
Thank you so much ladies! When you say take it easy, can you tell me what your days look like? Is it mostly just resting in bed all day?
To be honest 4 to 6 weeks u should rest means take care of newborn n rest in bed n eat healthy food and no excercise in that period n even after that no core excercises please you need to heal don't do any excercises it's so so early don't worry about tummy n weight gain u will lose it according to me 6months pp onwards start your excercise or after 6 weeks completed do walking only!!!!!!!!
When getting up out of bed, try placing your hands on your hamstring and pulling up. This reduced all of the strain along the side of my body! One week post c section I was back to most normal day to day activities and was going on 20-30 minute walks every day! But everyone different and I would try to compare too much. You know your body best!
@Claire that’s so awesome, Claire! How long did it take for your incision to heal?
I ended up peeling the glue off around 5 weeks at which point the incision was fully healed! So sometime before 5 weeks
Yes and all totally normal, just take it easy, it take some time to heal x
