C-Section Mummies

I am 3 weeks pp tomorrow after an emergency C-section at 33 weeks, baby girl in SCBU and a toddler being passed between family members, so I didn’t have a choice but to get up and go ! I do regret trying to do so much on my own as I’m in a lot of pain now compared to the first few days pp.
So id say if you have the option then rest while you can !!! C-section recovery is no joke !
Congratulations 🩷💙

I’m in the same boat! I’m 9 days post section and haven’t been on many pain killers but I’m totally aware that if I do too much I might be doing more damage than good. We went on a very slow walk around the pond for an hour and I’ve walked up to the midwife and back and been to Costa to sit in. I’ve cleaned the house twice now (I loved doing this when pregnant and before so it’s my coping mechanism for feeling blue). I think we are best doing the bare minimum because we should be recovering and your body will tell you when you’re doing too much!

I am 12 days PP after an emergency C-Section and I feel you! I am feeling pretty good but as soon as I do too much I get sore again. I stick to 10 minute walks and light housework that doesn’t require lifting and much be ding for now to keep a balance of rest and not going insane from sitting in the couch all day

2 weeks 1 day pp. Managed to get out and go on a nice steady long walk around the town today, very slow. Tried not to over do it too much, just take it steady and listen to your body. I think taking it slow and not rushing really helps. Currently have antibiotics for a c sec wound infection too so just trying to keep upright and moving a little more to keep it dry. Good luck!

I’m 11 days pp after emergency c section and I’m up and about but I need to take a lot of breaks and spend most of my time sitting. I also sometimes struggle to carry my baby or hold her for too long. My appetite has been terrible as well so I feel very weak most of the time
