Healing tips

Yeah it’s normal at this point still. My emergency c section had a more rough recovery

Hang in there girl! It’s so normal at not even a week post surgery. Please be gentle with yourself your body just went through major surgery. I felt better at about 8 weeks and yes emergency is a tougher recovery ❤️‍🩹

Ice pack for your incision. Sounds rough, but it helped me when incision had a burning/hot sensation.

I’m only a few days out from surgery so I’d definitely be gentle with yourself 🤍 Some soreness where the spinal was placed and burning/tingling around the incision can happen while everything is healing, but I’d keep an eye on it. Take your pain relief as prescribed, do short gentle walks, avoid lifting anything heavier than baby, and keep the incision clean and dry. If the burning is getting worse or you notice redness spreading, warmth, swelling, discharge, the wound opening or a fever, call your OB/L&D. And if the back pain comes with a severe headache, leg weakness/numbness or bladder/bowel problems, get checked urgently ❤️

Try to rest as much as possible limit standing for too long and if they gave you pain medication take it I wish I would have. I also recommend doing light massages on any numb area definitely feels weird and a little painful but definitely helps🙏🏽❤️
