The Simplest Way To Improve Your C Section Recovery


by Jago Holmes

Trying to stay mobile and routinely performing pelvic tilting and pelvic floor exercises will truly speed up your c section recovery time and permit you to become more active much sooner.

Following a caesarean section delivery, doctors suggest that you should wait eight to ten weeks before doing any formal or more intense exercise. Which means you should stay with low level intensity exercise for example walking and certainly nothing that causes you pain or discomfort.

Doing traditional abdominal training exercises at this stage may cause a much wider separation within the muscles which might resulting in permanent doming.

Doming is a bulge within the abdominal wall which occurs when there is still separation in the rectus muscles when curl ups or sit-ups are carried out. If doming happens during a relax the muscles may be pushed further apart and when this is done regularly it will seriously modify the ability of the muscles to realign tightly leaving a rounded tummy.

For this reason it is essential that you only do low level pelvic tilting exercises until the muscles have realigned and are stronger. Never EVER do full sit-ups at this time

You must protect your scar and also the damaged area as much as possible and you ought to use caution whenever getting around or getting out of bed and down from sitting or lying to standing.

GREAT CARE should be given to certain everyday tasks and activities such as getting up, up started, climbing from the bath and walking down and up stairs etc.

Spend some time getting out of bed, roll onto your side for support and then push with your arms to avoid placing extra stress on the weakened back and stomach muscles. ALWAYS AVOID A complete MOVEMENT from lying or sitting to standing. Instead break the movement down in to three parts.

The fundamental factor in working your ab muscles would be to always tilt the pelvis backwards and pull the muscles in tightly throughout the entire exercise.

Pelvic tilting exercises are different then pelvic floor exercises, but can be performed simultaneously after some practice.

Using a c section is major abdominal surgery and combined with the fact that there is also a new baby to look after makes the recovery much harder to obtain right. It's vital to complete the right things at this stage if you have any hopes of returning a figure that you're really happy with.

Do the incorrect kind of exercise after a c section and you'll well be left with a rounded tummy for the rest of your life
