An important step in recovery
Abdominal compression after caesarean section is an important step in recovery. Although there will be some pain, it is to promote uterine contraction, quickly discharge lochia and ensure rapid recovery of the body.
The doctor will "say hello"
When you get off the operating table, the doctor or nurse will come and say hello-press your stomach. Although there will be some pain, it is an important step in recovery.
The number of presses varies from person to person.
The doctor will decide the number of compressions according to your uterine contraction and blood circulation. Generally speaking, it will start within six hours after caesarean section, 1-2 times a day for about two days. Please feel free to follow the doctor's advice.
Some pains are normal.
Although it hurts to press your stomach, it is for the recovery of your body. You will feel some discomfort in the up and down position of your navel, especially when you take off the sandbag, and you may have short-term breathing difficulties. But please believe that every press is to make the body recover faster.
