What may be reviewed
The conversation may include discomfort, pressure, leakage, scars, abdominal changes, breathing, movement and the activities you want to return to.
Recovery after a caesarean section
After a caesarean section, recovery of the scar, abdomen and movement can be different for each person. If you have questions about discomfort, sensitivity or returning to activity, an assessment can help you plan the next steps.
Returning gradually to activity
Walking, exercise, work and caring responsibilities should reflect your situation and progress. An assessment can help you set priorities without comparing yourself with others.
Asking for help is part of recovery
You do not need to wait until you feel fully recovered. Tell us what you need and we can help you understand the next step.
