Going up and walking

A nurse will help you getting up firstly after your doctor’s permission. While doing this you may feel weakness and dizziness. Don’t be frightened! This is natural, as you just have had a cavernous operation! Regardless of whether you were given general anaesthetic or epidural anesthesia, feeling of weakness while first raises is inevitable.

Now, having raised firstly, think that most difficult things are in past already, and your first raising already means that you are on your way to recovery and it will pass smoothly and quickly.

Do the following exercises to get up:

1. Turning on side, allow your legs lean over edge of a bed and move to a sitting position.

2. Sit for a while and do moves with your legs.

3. When you are ready, pull your feet down and stand up (surely with someone’s assistance). Try to stand as straight as you can. This will not damage your stitches, even if it seems they are stretching.

4. Once you get used to standing, make a small step.

Every time while getting up, you will notice that it becomes easier for you.

Now try to increase duration of your walks little by little. You just should not forget to think:

- I’m a good girl. I grow stronger with every step. Each move approaches my discharge.

Wind

They appear after any operation on abdominal cavity. A reason of this trouble is slowing down of intestinal activity as a result of operation. Following exercises will help you to cope with wind:

- deep breathing;

- swinging in an arm-chair (if you suffer from wind at home already);

- exclusion of food and drinks causing wind from postoperative ration.

Urination

Another delicate topic – is possible difficulties with urination. They may appear only after catheter in ureter, anesthesia and operation on abdominal cavity.

Don’t worry, drink more liquid, try to urinate in shower or bath. If you cannot urinate by yourself, you still need catheter to empty urinary bladder.

WHOLESOME NUTRITION

Day 1st.

A woman can drink non-gas water, acidulated with lemon juice. Taking into account the fact that usually a drop bottle is used after operation, during first day a mother receives all nutritive materials directly in blood channel.

Day 2nd

On the 2nd day after Cesarean section a woman is transferred from intensive care to a post-natal ward. A diet after Cesarean section resembles a diet after any cavernous operation. Square food is excluded – during this period you need to spare organs of alimentary canal to the maximum.
