The mother who has given birth by Caesarean needs more care
and complete rest during the first few days after the Caesarean
operation.
• In the first twenty-­‐four hours after the Caesarean, the mother
may feel somewhat dizzy and out of breath when walking or
moving; she has to move and walk during this period but she
should move slowly.
• The mother will also need to use some painkillers when she
feels any pain after the Caesarean, so she should ask the doctor
to prescribe suitable painkillers for her that will not affect
breastfeeding.
The mother’s stay in hospital will vary between three and five
days so long as there are no complications.
You will have to pay attention to some matters after leaving the
hospital and going home, including the following:
• Make sure that you rest and do not do any hard work or lift any
heavy items.
• You should only carry your baby and breastfeed him, and rest in
bed as much as possible.
• It is advisable to take some vitamins to help replace the blood
that was lost during childbirth. This should be done under the
supervision of a doctor.
• Drink a lot of fluids, as much as possible, and make sure that
you eat nutritious and healthy meals that are rich in vitamins.
• Keep checking the site of the wound and tell the doctor
immediately if you notice any unfamiliar changes.
Some restrictions that the mother should follow after giving birth
by Caesarean:
• Limit stair-­‐climbing as much as possible
• Avoid marital relations until after consulting the doctor
