Caesarean Birth

If you were able to have a planned or emergency c-section then the first thing to remember is that you have had a major operation. You are advice to avoid strenuous exercise (which includes ironing) and depending on how rigorous you intend to be it would be worth considering waiting at least that long. If you are at all unsure you should get a check up from your GP or Obstetrician.
If it was planned and you have a neat scar to show for it and no other complications then you will be aware that this area is quite delicate. You have multi-layers of stitches as they have had to sew up your womb, layers of muscle and your skin. Once the stitches have been removed the scare may be tender and itchy. You may have been advised to wear a support to help those muscles mend. You need to be aware of what you are capable of; some yoga positions that you used to perform for your lover may be out of the question for a while.
