✨ C-Section Recovery: 5 Tips Every Mom Needs at Home ✨
Recovering from a C-section takes patience, care, and a few smart habits to feel better each day. Here’s what new moms should know:
1️⃣ Prioritize Rest & Gentle Movement
• Rest as much as possible, but also do short slow walks to boost circulation and healing.
2️⃣ Wound Care
• Keep the incision clean and dry.
• Wear loose, breathable cotton clothes to avoid friction.
3️⃣ Pain Management
• Take prescribed medications as directed.
• Use a small pillow to support your abdomen when coughing or sneezing.
4️⃣ Nutrition & Hydration
• Eat iron-rich foods, fresh fruits, and protein to support healing.
• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and aid recovery.
5️⃣ Listen to Your Body
• Watch for signs of infection: redness, swelling, fever, or discharge.
• Don’t lift heavy objects until your doctor clears you.
💡 Bonus tip: Accept help from family and focus on bonding with your baby — recovery takes time, and that’s perfectly okay!
