Getting Out of Bed After a C-Section or Pelvic Surgery
1Just had a C-section or pelvic surgery?
Here’s how to get out of bed gently while you heal. 👇
✅ Start on your back
🔁 Roll to your side
🦵 Swing your legs off the bed
💪 Use both arms to push to sit
💨 Exhale before and during the push—don’t hold your breath
To lie back down? Just reverse it.
This is temporary—not forever.
It protects your core and surgical site while your body does its thing. 💛
