Providing the Best Post Cesarean Care in UAE

If you are expecting a baby there’s a good chance that you might be wondering if you are going to have a normal (vaginal) birth or a cesarean section (C-section). If your healthcare provider advises to carry out a cesarean delivery then you should be prepared to get proper post cesarean care because after delivery care for the mother is just as important as taking care of the newborn. The average hospital stay after a C-section is 2 to 4 days but the road to recovery is much longer and may take months and the real challenge begins once you step outside the medical facility. This is the reason why you need a good cesarean after care at home.

Beyond everything, you have just had a major abdominal surgery and your body needs time to heal. If you want a faster postnatal recovery after undergoing a c-section you need to have experts helping you out, precisely during the first six weeks after giving birth to your little one. Cesarean after care requires mothers to rest whenever possible and take it easy for at least two months. Postpartum care needs to be an ongoing process rather than just a single visit by a home care nurse for after birth care.

Why Doctor Opts for Cesarean?

A C-section might happen during labor or even before labor starts (scheduled c-section). The healthcare professional might recommend a cesarean birth if labor or vaginal delivery could be risky for the mother or baby. For instance if the fetal heart rate has certain changes in labor it could be a sign that the baby isn’t getting enough oxygen, in cases like these the doctor may go for a c-section reducing the chance of any kind of threat to your baby.

Why Does C-Section Need Additional Care?

The first and foremost reason why you need to be extra cautious about post cesarean care is the fact that ultimately it is a surgery. You can’t go beyond the point that all surgeries have risks like infection, injury to blood vessels and serious bleeding that is why recovering after C-section becomes more difficult and cesarean aftercare becomes extremely important.

It’s a common myth that recovery after vaginal birth is similar to recovering post a C-section but the latter has more challenges and complications. Post C-section surgery your health provider will ask you not to do several things. For example, you will be told not to lift anything heavier than your baby for the first 6 to 8 weeks. Plus you would be advised to take proper rest. With a newborn to care for, mothers usually ignore their own well-being. This is where you can benefit from postnatal care services provided by Maika.
