I had minimal bleeding until about 10 days after my caesar, then heavy bleeding (thought I was haemoraging) and phoned the hospital where I had delivered my baby. They said if the bleeding continued to be heavy/gushing and particularly if painful, to come into casualty. It settled down that night and I didn't go into casualty and its now minimal again but I am seeing my ob to check with him that everything is ok.

I haven't really been given advice re what not to do while recovering from a caesar (other than not to drive), and wondered if managing my toddler (I try to avoid lifting him if I can) would cause any physical problems?
