Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 28 years old. The day of delivery is approaching, and I don't want a cesarean section. How long after a normal delivery can I resume my usual activities?Doctor's answer:
After vaginal delivery, it is advisable to engage in more movement off the bed, as long as it does not involve excessive strain. Postpartum, it is beneficial to perform more abdominal and gluteal lifting exercises to aid in the recovery of pelvic floor muscles. Avoid consuming overly greasy or sweet foods after giving birth to prevent excessive weight gain. Maintain a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, eat light meals, ensure sufficient deep sleep, keep the room temperature comfortable, and avoid excessive swelling to prevent further weakening of the body.
