C-section booked for Thursday morning. This is my second, 1st was 8 years ago. What are some healing tips or advice anyone can give??

It seems silly but it's been so long I don't know if l've forgotten or just baby brained on it x

For me it was:
Bridge holds every day. 3 sets of ten.
Don't carry anything heavy like baby in a car seat. I still remember how heavy it felt eight weeks after birth.
Don't sit too low. My recovery sped up when I got a higher chair. Our sofa was super low.
Walk gently.

I'm having a planned section in January after an emergency one two years ago and I'm planning to buy the C-section UK courses, realise it might be a bit too last minute for you to do that but their instagram account (@csectionuk) is worth a follow for tips and advice. Hope it all goes smoothly!
