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.
C-section recovery isn't over when you go home. Once you're out of the hospital, you can't lift anything heavier than baby for the first couple of weeks, Economy says. And, no driving for about two weeks, no exercise for 4-6 weeks, and no sex for six weeks, Economy says. You are really going to feel worn down and tired after a C-section, and on top of that you have a newborn baby to take care of, so the load and the demand on your body is very high, Hoskins says. Don't expect any great miracles before 3-4 weeks, and many women will go up to three months to be 100%..
