Fastest ways to recover from a csection? My doctor said definitely not to baby myself and I have to…

Always press a pillow to your incision when you sneeze or cough, don't lift anything heavy, don't drive until you feel 100%

@babyelkins2016, don't push solid foods- if they want to keep you on a liquid diet do it until they want to take you off (it makes the gas SOOOO much worse if you eat before your supposed to) soft flowey skirts are your friend it makes it easier than pants- get up and move around walking as soon as you feel okay- after the csection once you go home (i used a blow dryer on low to keep my incision dry so it doesn't get infected or open up... ask the hospital for a waist binder (you won't use it for about a week but after that it's a life saver) use pillows to hug against your abdomen when getting up, raise the bed up and kind of slide off so you are straining to get up off the bed....

What @babes101116 said and please, please take your pain pills! Some moms don't want to cause they think it'll affect baby, but it won't. And keep your incision dry. Pat it down really good after a shower and maybe put a pad in your undies to cover the incision (so it won't rub on pants etc)

My doctor did tell me id be on a liquid diet probably all of the first day. Yay lol @b3autifulm3ss and all I brought with me were night gowns and my coming home outfit are super soft sweat pants a really baggy shirt :) and what is a waist binder?

@babyelkins2016, it makes it easier to move around when you get home (not all hospitals have them)

In gonna see if I can find one off Amazon. Thing a girdle would work the same?@b3autifulm3ss

Yeah it will

walk walk walk but dont over do it.

Use ice packs on the incision and change them frequently. This really helped keep my inflammation down
