Does the abdomen hurt after a cesarean delivery?
After the anesthesia wears off, the pain will be very obvious, but anesthesia is generally administered during the entire process of cesarean delivery, so there will be little pain during the surgery. However, after the anesthesia wears off, there may be pain from the wound, uterine contractions, or the insertion of a catheter.
1. Cesarean delivery is actually a common delivery method nowadays, which is mainly determined by the size of the fetus or the condition of the pregnant woman. If the fetus is too large to pass through the vagina smoothly, cesarean delivery should be considered. Also, if the pregnant woman's body condition does not allow for a natural birth, cesarean delivery may also be considered.
2. After cesarean delivery, the mother's abdomen and uterus will have a wound, which requires careful care and time to heal gradually. The pain within the first week can be very intense, coupled with postpartum uterine contractions, so the mother may experience significant discomfort and pain in the first one to two weeks. She needs to cope with and overcome this pain.
3. As a pregnant woman, it is important to follow the doctor's advice throughout the pregnancy, attend regular prenatal checkups, and learn to control your diet. It is not true that eating more and making the fetus grow larger and fatter is better, because a larger fetus will reduce the possibility of natural delivery and may require cesarean delivery.
