Up and moving 12 hrs after a cs is the norm as you need to get moving to avoid DVT.

Most woman need help up to the shower and once up are ok.

First 12 hrs you will need help, buzz the mw that's what they are there for to help!! They know that after a cs woman are stuck in bed and don't like feeling helpless.

After I was up I showered then bathed baby and was doing eveything for myself. You are different as you have SPD severly but you still need to get up and do things for you and your baby. They will not be asking you to walk a marathon but to get out of bed to change baby, etc is not to much giving that you can lie in bed to feed etc.
