next day. i stayed in hospital for 3 nights. and the next day i get down to walk was w/o any assistance and support. my gynae came in the morning and told me to come down to walk in the noon, she told me to get the nurse to help me but i didnt since my family members were ard. fyi, u HAVE to come down and walk the next day, they will not let u discharge until u walk and pee.
at 1st the pain was lik the wound is going to tear apart. but i hold onto my wound and walk, and also, i did use a binder and it really helps alot, maybe becos of the pressure.
dont wry, it is very pain during the 1st few days but as long as you walk frequently, the wound will recover faster. my CL commented that i can walk very steadily compared with the other c-sect mummies she seen, think maybe becos i keep walk and walk. haha..

My baby was very big for my size: 3.5kg while my pre-pregnancy weight is only 42kg.
Thus, my abdominal muscles were over-stretched. Tummy bulges out a little even after 21 months.
I'm back to pre-pregnancy weight after a few months.
Just visited a Physiotherapist for appropriate belly exercises.
If concerned about size or shape after birth, do seek professional advice before exercising.

My friends' shoe size went up permanently. For me, it took me almost 1 year before I could wear my old shoes. There are some pairs that I still can't wear comfortably.
bra cup size - still bigger
tops - still can't wear some clothes (have to ditch soon)
pants & some skirts - can wear but I still look bigger =.=
I think mummy's age, diet & fitness/shape are some factors that contribute to the ability to "shrink back".
Hi minako85,
I had a natural birth and I can fit back (baby is now 10 months) into my old jeans so I guess my pelvic bones went back to pre-pregnancy size. But I still cannot wear my tops because my breast went from a B cup to a D cup! even after losing the weight I have to throw away all my old bras.... but I think everyone is different. For me my baby was quite small so maybe that's why my pelvis didnt have to open much. For the bras size my friend says that her breast are actually smaller now than before pregnancy!

I still remember I walk in 2nd day after c-sect.
It's really kill me initially but as same experience with Apollo mummies the more you walk it recover fast.
Actuall the worst part is can't control the pee after take out the tube.

Means you don't have that kind of uncontrollable feeling when you pass urine?
hmm, I'm almost back to my pre-pregnancy size after 9 months. It's the last few inches that take the longest to go off. I don't purposely go on any diet or exercise plans. I can fit into my old jeans but its abit tight at the waist for me. Breasts and Hips have more or less shrink back to its previous size.
