Whether planned or emergency, a Cesarean section is a major abdominal procedure. At Avighna Births, our multimodal analgesia protocols and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways empower mothers to bond with their newborns comfortably while healing safely.

Incision Care: Keeping the Wound Clean and Dry

Pat your incision dry after bathing. Avoid tight clothing with elastics over the scar. Watch for infection signs: increasing redness, yellowish discharge, warmth, or fever over 100.4°F.

Early Mobility Prevents Blood Clots (DVT)

Gentle walking down the hospital hallway within 12-24 hours stimulates bowel peristalsis (preventing gas pain) and prevents deep vein thrombosis in the legs.

Comfortable Breastfeeding Postures

Use the 'football hold' (clutch hold) or side-lying nursing position with nursing pillows to keep your baby's weight off your sensitive abdominal incision.

Doctor's Clinical Insight: "Do not rush recovery. Give your body grace to heal during the fourth trimester while leaning on your loved ones and medical team." — Dr. Archana, MS (OBG)
