Bend your knees to the outside, cross your calves, and sit cross-legged in front of your thighs, with the soles of your feet facing up, put an pregnancy back support brace around your waist and abdomen, tighten your abdominal muscles, straighten your back and pull it upwards. With the upper body sitting upright, relax and withdraw the strength, slowly bend forward, and exhale at the same time. Repeat sitting upright and bending over, inhaling and exhaling 10 times.

Therefore, you should fast for 6 hours after the operation, and gradually increase the food intake afterward. Cold and cough can affect wound healing and severe cough can even cause incision tears.

Special circumstances: After caesarean section mothers come out of the surgery room, most of them are in a state of rest.

However, when Mommy is about to roll over or get out of bed the next day, especially before getting out of bed for the first time, the medical staff will definitely assist Mommy to use a maternity tummy belt to avoid the wound from being involved in the activity.

Do not use the postpartum belly wrap for a long time: the long-term use of the abdominal belt will lead to poor blood flow, which will lead to varicose veins of the lower extremities, hemorrhoids, and lumbar muscle strain.
