In order to ensure that the full C Section Recovery takes place you should take it easy for at least 4 weeks. It might be an excellent to hire a housekeeper to help you with the house work for the first few weeks.
Usually after a c-section you and the newborn baby would end up staying in the hospital for approximately 3 days. Immediately after the anesthesia wears off, you will be in pain but the doctors will give you pain medication. However, you will also be made to walk because walking helps to speed your C Section Recovery and helps to prevent constipation and blood clots.
While you are in the hospital, your c-section incision will be observed for signs of infection. The hospital will also monitor your appetite, bowel function, bladder function and fluid intake. Usually the c-section incision will take anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks to heal and while it is healing it is quite common to feel discomfort and fatigue.
