Lifting Your Baby

Safe and comfortable lifting strategies can help you gradually rebuild the strength needed for carrying and caring for your baby.

Walking

Gentle walking can be gradually increased according to comfort, recovery and medical advice. Your physiotherapist can help you manage activity without unnecessarily overloading painful areas.

Returning to Exercise

More demanding exercise should be introduced progressively. Your rehabilitation plan can build strength and movement capacity before returning to higher-level activities.

A Note on Recovery

A C-section is major abdominal surgery, so recovery should be gradual. Do not push through significant pain or wound problems, and follow the advice provided by your obstetric or maternity team.

Chest pain or difficulty breathing
