C section recovery

Hi!
Didn’t workout for the first trimester pp after cs
I only did soft stretches on a yoga mat (youtube videos)
Helped me with muscle aches and general better movement
Soft almond oil massages on tummy went great too
Have a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

I had a section 16 months ago and still have aches I found walking everyday helped ease them especially from early on, I tried both yoga and Pilates and for me personally it made no difference. I now go for regular deep tissue massages and it really help with aches and pains especially in my lower back. Hopefully your pain eases x

Following this post 4 weeks post my c section too. Do you also get incision pain as well?

If you can I’d see a postpartum/women’s health physio before doing Pilates or anything that uses your abs. If you have any ab separation (which is totally normal) you could inadvertently make it worse by performing the exercises incorrectly. I saw a physio at 11w pp and, while it wasn’t cheap (£100ish for a “mummy mot”), it was worth every penny
