Nowadays, mothers give birth to their babies by caesarean section. After a cesarean section, women have many wounds on their bodies. These wounds need to heal, so there are clear regulations on when to move around after a cesarean section. Random movements may affect postpartum recovery. So, how long does a cesarean section require daily physical activity?
Generally speaking, on the second day of a cesarean section, doctors will recommend that the mother move around, but there are strict regulations on the duration of the activity. Generally speaking, one activity should not exceed ten minutes, and the number of activities per day should not exceed two or three times. About a week after a cesarean section, it is recommended to exercise on the ground for half an hour each time. After the exercise, special attention should be paid not to engage in excessive physical activity, and even less to pull the wound, as it may cause problems with wound healing and be very detrimental to the recovery of the body after a cesarean section.
By the time one month after a cesarean section, the wound has basically healed and one can move around for a long time. Mothers can do some activities within their abilities in the room, such as sweeping the floor, wiping the table, tidying up the room, etc. But at this time, it is necessary to avoid heavy physical activities, such as moving and lifting things, extracting heavy objects, etc.
In fact, after a cesarean section, moderate physical activity can effectively prevent intestinal adhesions and wound adhesions, improve appetite, and be beneficial for postpartum recovery of the mother.
