Hi Cindy - Re: Recovery time from C-section?

[Guest guest]

I was on fairly SBR for 3 months before my son was delivered by c

section and I was up a day later. Because my son was in special care

I got myself more mobile than some because I wanted to go be with him

when ever I wanted and didn't want to have to buzz nurses etc to take

me.

Also I left the hospital after a week and Matt stayed but I drove

myself up two times a day to see him. I remember thinking I was

feeling pretty good.

When he came home another week later I was off to the shops and

friends with him pretty quickly. By two weeks post c section I was

feeling pretty good. The more you move around (with care and not

twisting or stretching) the better you will feel, also getting the

blood flow moving helps the healing process.

Hope this helps

Love

Elaine
