• If you see bloody mucus

You are required to carry:

• Clinic attendance card

• Comfortable clothing and shoes for wearing at discharge

In most cases, it takes longer to recover from a caesarean section than a normal delivery.

Timeline for Recovery:

Day 1 - You should start walking around and drinking fluids as normal. Gradually increase your diet from liquids to soft diet to normal food over 24 - 48 hours.

Day 3 - 4 - You should be going home if you and your baby are healthy and well

Day 7 - You should return for your review with the doctor to check healing and manage any complications

Week 1 - 3 - Rest as much as you can. Avoid heavy lifting, as lifting anything heavier than your baby can strain your scar. Avoid stairs and strenuous exercise. Take your painkillers as prescribed. Even if you don't have pain at the time, painkillers work better if taken regularly

Week 6 - Your tissues should have fully healed by now, and you can start to go back to your normal routine. Sometimes the scar can take up to 3 months to heal fully

Do's and Don'ts after C-Section:

• Check your wound site daily for signs of infection

• Dress in loose, soft clothing that does not rub your wound site

• Eat well and drink plenty of water to avoid constipation

• Hold a pillow over your wound site when you cough

• Abstain from sexual intercourse for at least 6 weeks to allow your body to heal

• See your health provider for: Fever, severe pain, redness, swelling or discharge at your incision site, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, heavy vaginal bleeding

Do not:

• Rub the wound site

• Apply any creams, lotions, ointments, powders, or medications on the wound site unless prescribed by your doctor

• Worry about itching - itching along the wound site is common. Burning, numbness, and tingling along the site are also common

• Bind your stomach to flatten it until your wound has healed

• Lift heavy objects for 6 weeks

You can help your partner with her pain during labour for normal delivery. This pain is called a contraction. Contractions help push the baby out. They usually start slowly and then come more frequently and become stronger.

You can help her with her pain at home by:

• Accompanying her on a walk

• Placing her in a hot bath or pouring hot water on her back

• Taking deep breaths together

You will know when it is time to take her to the hospital when:

• The time between each contraction is less than 5 minutes

• She feels wetness or blood on her underwear

• She is more than a week past her due date
