Day out after c section

Everyone is different, i had my first trip out about a week after and felt really sore in the evening but then a few days later tried again and felt a lot better ☺️ take it easy it and sit down when you can xx

Just pace yourself, rest as much as you can , keep up on tylenol and motrin. Ice as soon as youre home and ready to relax, put your feet up too!

I would say you’ll be okay but everyone is different. I was at Twycross zoo 7 days after my second section and was alright x

I was out and about a couple days after mine, just take it slow and make sure you get plenty of rest before and after xx

First week was definitely hard but its gotten easier with each week heck at 3 we drove 6hours to see family and when me husband got a new tattoo I asked our friend who owned the shop to give me one and he called me a crazy lady and to ask again in 6months. Everyone is different with pain

I was out food shopping on day 5-6.
I just pushed the pram and that was it.
Just don’t over do it and take time to rest.
You don’t want an infection or your scar reopening also they have gone through about 7 layers to get your baby out so also think about your fat and muscle recovery.

I’ve had 3 c-sections. 2 of which were during winter months. Be careful and pace yourself with for snow and ice.

#1 & 2 I was out walking 24h after surgery and being home.

#3 I was out and walking a week after. Walking our oldest child to & from school 3 weeks after.

I’ll be a month postpartum/post-op on Monday. And I’m just now starting to feel my normal.

Every body and every recovery is going to be different. Every healing process will be different.

Give yourself time if you need it.

I was out and about 5 ish days after. Everyone’s different but that was absolutely fine for me so a couple more weeks I’d assume you’ll be ok!

my first one was also an emergency and traumatic. recovery felt hard, but i just paced myself and tried to rest a lot. i had a second & it was a planned c-section and it was so much better all around. i was up and moving the same day, the more you move around the better you’ll feel. i DID have to travel to FL for a funeral 2 weeks PP.. was not ideal, but it was my sister. but same thing i just did my best to rest and take it easy. i would say do what feels right!

I think I'm going to take a slow walk to pick my oldest up from nursery next week and build from there.
Congratulations on your new little one. Glad your feeling good! Xx

I went out about a week after but only down the road to register his birth..one thing I found helped was pushing the pram as I could put my weight on it which helps with the pain xx

My first trip out was around 2 weeks but just to register baby and go for a lunch to celebrate.
It depends what the day out entails.
I would probably still go but take it as steady as you can. Lots of rest stops.

It just depends on your recovery. I was still struggling with walks around the block at that point but everyone is different.

I went to the pub around 5-6 days after my c section (for lunch) it was definitely too soon and I would give it more time next time. After 2 weeks I was good !

I was out and about less than a week after my c section (emergency) - everyone recovers differently but I felt totally fine by then.

Just go with what you feel you can do. I still needed to sit down regularly at 4 weeks but my recovery was rough. I just stopped, sat down and let myself recover then kept going. I didnt let it stop me getting out I just listened and rested when needed.

My first c section was an emergency and I almost bled to death on the table. I didn’t have a day out until 2 1/2 weeks postpartum. I managed it as relaxed as I could and it wasn’t too bad. I was super exhausted by the end of the day.
Second section was even worse but my baby was in NICU so I had to be driven to the hospital and walking around independently there by 7 days postpartum. I managed but it took a long time to feel recovered.
So - take it as it comes and listen to your body. You can probably make it work if you have to, but don’t force anything. 💕
