Care After C Section
A Cesarean Section or C Section is the surgical birth of a child.The C Section is a major surgery and healing ,from one takes longer than healing from a vaginal birth and requires different techniques.If you had a C Section without complications,you can expect to spend about three days in the hospital.As me too had gone through C section, i was in hospital for three days n fourth day got discharged.On third day,i used to take a round in the hospital balcony with my mom's support.With propet care from your healthcare team,support from family and friends,a selfcare at home,you are likely to heal in a timely manner.



As in the starting i was also worried that how my body will heal,as it was my first baby and netvous too.In order to care for your baby,it is essential that we should be fit and healthy.From my experience i had learnt thr following n would like to share with u.....


✔Wound will be covered with a dressing for at least 24 to 48 hours after C Section.

✔Clean the wound area with a soft cloth dipped in lukewarm water,then dry it with another cloth.Apply Betadine powder on it,twice a day.

✔Donot touch the wound area,unless it is necessary to.

✔Ensure that we should wash our hands,especially before and aftet using the toilet.

✔Wear loose fitting,comfortable clothing and underwear.

✔Get plenty of rest.Rest whenever ur baby rests.Try to sleep whenever your baby naps.As i live in joint family,so there was no need to worry about work.So i take full rest unless my body heals.

✔Good nutrition is just as important in the months after you delivet as it was while you were pregnant.Eating a variety of foods will keep your baby healthy and help you stronger.Also drink plenty of water.

✔Donot lift anything heavier than your baby.Avoid going up and down stairs.

✔Whenever you have to sneeze or cough,hold your abdomen to protect the incision site.

✔Avoid strenuous exercise,but do take gentle walks.


It could take upto 6to 8 weeks to get back into your normal routine.Ask your doctor when it is fine to exercise,go back to work and drive.Also wait to have sex until your body heals or your doctor gives the green signal.If you feel sad,disappointed,donot ignoreit.Talk to your partner,friend or realtive that is close to u.


. So donot afraid of Csection,a little care n patience will heal your body.
