MYTHS ABOUT CESAREAN SECTION


Myth 1: The recovery period is very long. Wrong! If everything goes well (and once again, things can go wrong with any method of giving birth), the recovery period is very short and involves no excruciating pain or loss of basic functions.

Myth 2: You will not be able to walk for weeks. Not true at all. We allow leg movements in 6 hrs. , prop up in 6 hrs and full walk in24 hrs.

Myth 3: You will not be able to lift your baby. This is an egregious lie …..rather U can lift any weight that is equal to Baby’s wt.

Myth 4: The pain is excruciating. Operation is done under anesthesia .. less painful than normal delivery

Myth 5: You are left with a disfiguring scar. ALMOST INVISIBLE, can see faint line only.

Myth 6: You will not be able to bond with your baby as effectively. Rather more comfortable becos you can sit comfortably as there is no pain at perineal region


Myth 7: Can’t have full and solid meal for 3- 4 days. With in 6 hrs orally liquid allowed and with in 24 hrs solid food allowed
