Recovery: The First 48 Hours After my emergency cesarean delivery I felt so lost when it came to recovering, being able to function again and care for my new baby boy. . Although I didn’t have gas trapped in my chest (so common after an abdominal surgery), I had gas trapped in my bowels and let me tell you-that pain was worse then the 40 hours of labour I experienced! Ouch! . Here is what I will do after my next planned cesarean: •Avoid straws the first week-it can cause more gas •Chew gum: stimulates digestion and helps bowels start working •Your first walk should be to the washroom and back •Walk around the room or the hallways of the hospital (10 steps at a time, don't over do it the first 48 hours) •While standing and holding onto the wall-lift one knee up at a time •Core/pelvic floor breathing to bring awareness back to the body •Flex and extend toes, then ankle, knee and hips (Sliding knees only) •Flex and extend head and neck up, down, side bending, rotation •Bend elbows and wrists, lift arms alternation sides •Bear hug yourself •Shoulder rolls frontwards and backwards •Alternate knees one at a time-bend and keep foot sliding back and forth (no lifting off the bed-sliding only) •Bend and turn knee out alternating, then do both at the same time •Drinking warm water can help soothe gas build up . What worked for you? Share below in the comments ❤️ . #csection #csectionrecovery #mommy #surgery #birth #baby #recovery #natural #bellybirth #rmt #massagetherapy
