Accepted Answer

Take rest for atleast 4-6 weeks. Limit your movements so that you do not put undue stress on the incision. Your scar will be sore for several weeks. Refrain from carrying and holding anything except the baby. When nursing or cuddling, use a nursing pillow or a normal pillow placed over your incision to lay the baby on. Ask others to hand the baby to you you instead of getting up every time. Watch out for any post caesarean wound infection and seek immediate medical attention. Keep the wound clean and wear loose clothes that do not irritate your belly. Numbness, pulling and itching around the incision are normal and will fade. Eat a healthy and balanced diet and drink lots of water. Avoid foods or drinks that may make you gassy as the build up of gas can cause discomfort.
