[temenuga]

Hey mamas:),

Can you shed some light into how the recovery for you went after the csection...how many days are the worst ..and when could u start working out after it..

My recoveries were quite easy my doctor told me I ccouldn't work out but the sooner I got up and was walking I would heal faster the first week is the hardest, the second like they said you're just sore, and by the time the third week comes it's easier I was walking around my neighborhood and the park by 3 weeks pp

I would say the first week is the hardest. Second week you're a bit sore. By the begonning of the third week (which is where I'm at), you should be moving around pretty well. I've resumed most of my household activities with the exception of lifting anything but the baby.

You do realize you are going to be cut thru all your tummy muscles right? You won't be able to work out for a great minute... You can rip your stitches.  I wanna say it's 6 weeks. And the first week is probably the hardest... Second is just really sore.  By the third... That's when I start feeling a little better.  And pain meds slow your healing process a lot a lot. It's how ever you can handle it best.  But. Healing muscle is slow... And best not to rush it.
