C sect

1) Be very careful about your wound, try not to let water seep in when bathing and after bathing. 2) Don't bend at all or minimise bending your back for first 2 to 3 months. 3) Don't carry heavy stuff unless necessary in the first 2 to 3 months. 4) Don't eat seafood, too spicy food and don't take junk food. Try to take Nutritious food for 30 to 45 days to allow your body to recover (My wife ate confinement food for 45 days). Health and body is yours, if you don't take care of it, nobody else will. 5) If pain is recurring and Unbearable, request for sufficent painkillers or medication from your Gyane. 6) Check with your Gyane if there is anything you need to take note of and to avoid doing or eating. Trust the professionals advise. 7) Have plenty of rest whenever possible during the first 1 to 2 months - Very important. Leave the household chores / whatever tasks to the husband or in law or maid or part time helper or maid to help/do, very important to nurse your body and health back in the first 1 to 2 months. 8) Don't take cold or Gas drinks for 30 days, traditional Chinese belief taking cold drinks will cause problems later as you age. 9) Don't blow air from fan for 30 days. If feeling hot or warm turn on the air conditioner. No choice as SG is hot tropical climate. In the context of traditional Chinese belief, failing to nurse your body and health back to healthy levels in the first 1 to 2 months after C Sect or giving birth will pose health issues in your old age later for many years. Stay healthy!
