1. Get Plenty of Rest. A C-section is major surgery. Just like with any other surgery, your body needs time to heal afterward. Expect to stay in the hospital for three to four days after your delivery (longer if there are complications), and give your body up to six weeks to fully heal. Thatâs easier said than done. Itâs hard to crawl into bed for hours on end when you have a baby who is demanding lots of attention.
After the procedure. After a C-section, most mothers and babies stay in the hospital for two to three days. To control pain as the anesthesia wears off, you might use a pump that allows you to adjust the dose of intravenous (IV) pain medication. Soon after your C-section, you'll be encouraged to get up and walk. Moving around can speed your recovery and help prevent constipation and potentially dangerous blood clots. While you're in the hospital, your health care team will monitor your incision for signs of infection.
