I think it depends on your body. I'm on day 6 and pretty much walking about the house and can do everything for myself. I'm definitely still taking it easy as it's only been 6 days, but it's getting better each day. Also, I'm only taking paracetamol now with the odd ibuprofen here and there. This is my 3rd c section too and the quickest I've felt better this time around.
I’ve had two and was up and walking the next day. By day 5 I was in Costco shopping with my first and this one last month was the same. I was baby wearing and pushing my toddler around the park by day 11. It gets easier so quickly. Just stick to the meds, keep drinking and keep moving. Mobility is key to recovery xx
I found that the more I moved (gently) the better it became. I went out for breakie day 4. I’m on day 10 now and have been going to daily walks - only like 20-30 mins but just feels so good to get out and about! Just keep on top of pain meds, even if you don’t think you need them, finish the course you get given x
Days 1-4 I couldn’t see how the hell I was going to recover and be independent again. Currently on day 16 and I promise you it gets easier. Other than the fact I still have to ‘take it easy’ there is not much I can’t do. I can put my own socks on, go on walks and lunches with my husband and new baby. Hang in there xxx
