Chores

After a week

I was doing easy things like vacuuming pretty much right away. Maybe a week? I felt pretty back to normal by 2-3 weeks pp.

Couple days later, just very slowly and I took breaks too

I didn’t feel up to it until 4-5 months after. I also had complications. Everyone is different, but check with your Doctor.

The next day 😂

Around the 6 week mark with my second and that was only with a cordless vacuum, so it was pretty light.

I learnt the hard way after my first section, did certain things, like too much movement, lifting, stretching etc too early (without feeling like I was straining( and without realising, until I was pregnant with my second, that it had stretched my incisions on the inside, so they were paper thin. I would have had a uterine rupture if I had managed to have a VBAC.

Please don't push yourself too much, you can always catch up on the housework, you can't catch up with recovery. Or make visitors do it 😅

I was up and done all the house work after four days. Husband went back to work after 6 days. Really depends on your recovery
