Individuals, it is always important to consult your doctor, before one resumes exercise after Caesarean section.
1. GET A MASSAGE
Two to three weeks after delivery, one can safely get a post pregnancy massage. This massage breaks up belly fat and help to lose fluid from the lymph nodes thereby reducing your waist line.
* However, you should avoid massaging the abdominal area during this time but focus on the back, hand and the legs.
* 6-8 weeks after delivery , when the scar tissue starts forming the abdominal area can be massaged gradually, slowly and gentle without pain. ( Consult your doctor first )
2 MOVE YOUR BODY
* I understand the pain one goes through after caesarean section but early ambulation also helps. This is because a caesarean section cuts through some of your stomach muscles which result in a pouch of fat on your tummy.
* It is therefore important to wait for 6-8 weeks before you attempt any exercise.(Consult your doctor or midwife)
* Walking is a low impact exercise that burns calories safely. So one can go for a Walt 3-4 times in a week.
