How soon did you moms that had csections leave the house ? With my baby being in the nicu I plan on going today and I’m only one week postpartum. I need to see my baby but worried about doing too much too soon. 😭 I plan on taking cabs back and forth instead of taking the train..
Immediately. I declined the pain meds so I wouldn’t be drowsy while out.
If you didn’t have any major issues post surgery, you can go out and about for small periods of time. Going to the NICU is an exception of course, just try not to be on your feet for too long or move too quickly.
The day they released me from the hospital was really only day I stayed home. My daughter was in the NICU for 2 months, so I went twice a day before my 6 week appointment and 2-3x per day after since I was cleared to drive. Just take it easy and make sure you’re taking breaks from moving around when you’re feeling pain.
I went to Walmart 4 days pp. I had a c section but didn’t have much pain at all and never had to get my pain pills filled. Just make sure if you start hurting you stop and rest and don’t overdue it.
