Recovery

Definitely take it easy, that’s a lot to do just 4days pp and hoovering using more ab muscles than you realise. I reduced my meds far too quickly and found myself in more pain so definitely keep on top of those. I personally didn’t bath until all my scabs had come off because like you I didn’t want to cause any more damage or infection. As for your scar just keep checking it, I was too scared to look at mine so got my partner to check it every night to make sure it all looked good. I did have one part that started bleeding again when the midwife took my dressing off as it ripped a scab off with it but that healed well, it just has a little bump on that side now where there’s a bit of extra scar tissue

Sorry my post wasn't that clear...I'm now 15 days post partum, I definitely didn't start doing that much at 4 days, I went to London at 10 days post partum. Xxx

fair enough haha. I’d still probably take it easy. I don’t think I started doing much until around 2 weeks and even then it was only short walks etc

I bathed 7 days PP and not had any issues. Just make sure you don’t use bubble bath or harsh products that might irritate the skin around your scar. I’ve been getting a bath with nothing in there it was nice to just soak in a hot bath with no bubbles anyway xx

Your body will tell you when you’re doing too much, but I feel like when it does it’s already too late. It sounds like you have you have been over doing it. You’ve had major surgery. Even if you feel up to it, please rest for the sake of your body now and in the future.
