How to recover quickly after a C-section ?

Question

I am a first time mom, I am 27 ( soon 28) and I was wondering if you had any tips to recover from a C-section fast ? It was hard for me to make that decision and I am super scared to get the surgery... but that's how it is. I will have a baby to care for straight after it so I really need to get moving asap. Please let me know of anything that helped you recover quickly after your c section....
I feel like an alien for requesting it ... I am in the UK and the doctors and midwife's look so shocked that I'd rather have that then being insuced. I am shattered.

Answer

The best advice I got was don’t rush it. If you try to heal too quickly then you’ll end up pushing your body too hard even if you don’t mean to which will then make it take longer to heal. Make sure to move (not too much) after the surgery to help with healing but that’s about it.

Ive had 2 this will be my third section. My advice would be to try and get up and about as soon as u possibly can the more you lie about the harder and longer the recovery. Although it is painful the best thing to do is soilder threw the pain and get up walking about it does really help you heal faster in my opinion. Everyone is diffrent and just make sure you do what your body will allow and not push to much all the best to u

Why do you want a c section rather than a vaginal delivery? If you’re worried about quick  recovery a major abdominal surgery is not the way to go. Not judging just curious.

Answer

Why are you choosing a c-section if you don’t have to have one? Vaginally birth is honestly not that bad especially if you get an epidural and the recovery is a lot easier.
