1. Rest is part of healing
You didn’t just give birth—you had surgery. Slowing down helps you recover faster.

2. Do only what your body can handle
Ignore pressure to “bounce back.” Small, gentle progress is enough.

3. Accept help without guilt
Let people cook, clean, and assist with the baby so you can heal.

4. Take pain relief on time
Staying ahead of pain makes movement easier and recovery smoother.

5. Move gently every day
Short walks help reduce pain, gas, and stiffness.

6. Your emotions matter too
If you feel low or overwhelmed, especially signs of postpartum depression, reach out for support early.

7. This stage is temporary
It feels slow now, but your strength returns with time.
