Recovery After Cesarean Section: Timeline and Recommendations

Recovery after cesarean section

Introduction
A cesarean section is a major surgery, and the postpartum recovery period requires special attention. Even with a smooth and safe delivery, the body needs time to heal and regain strength. Proper postnatal care helps prevent complications, restore muscle tone, and support emotional and physical well-being.

Recovery Timeline
According to Dr. Surayo Nazarova, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor, and Consultant Obstetrician-Gynecologist at KindCare Medical Center (Dubai), recovery after a C-section happens in several stages:
First 6 weeks – the uterine and skin incision heals, hormone levels stabilize, and the body adapts to new physical demands. It’s important to rest, stay hydrated, and avoid heavy lifting.
6 weeks to 6 months – full recovery of muscles, ligaments, and skin elasticity. Gradual physical activity and pelvic floor strengthening are encouraged under medical supervision.

Doctor’s Recommendations
Dr. Nazarova emphasizes: “Recovery is not a race — every woman’s body heals at its own pace.”
She advises patients to:
• avoid lifting anything heavier than the baby for the first 2 months;
• wear a supportive postpartum bandage;
• maintain a balanced diet rich in protein, iron, and fluids;
• attend regular gynecological check-ups every 4–6 weeks;
• consider physiotherapy and gentle medical technologies to promote healing.
