When planning their delivery, most women aim to have a normal delivery but many a time, due to certain complications and/or conditions, a c-section becomes inevitable. Low lying placenta, breech position, chord around the neck, high blood pressure as well as growth issues in the baby are some of the reasons that lead to a c section. A cesarean section makes a woman really weak and vulnerable. It is a real challenge to get up and walk with the stitches on your lower abdomen. Post-delivery, the uterine lining, and blood are eliminated from the body and this process makes take anywhere between 10 – 40 days.

Care after c-section

After any surgery, a person is supposed to take a lot of rest but after a c-section, a mother has to take care of her little one as well. A lot of precautions need to be taken post-delivery. Post-c-section, a woman needs to take great care while sitting as well as while getting up from the bed or chair. She should move around slowly. She must not climb stairs. The incision on her abdomen needs to be protected at all times since the wound takes time to heal. All women are advised to take rest for 40 days. Although the woman should not pick up any weights, she needs to hold her baby as often as required.

Body Massage after C section

Body Massages for 1 month after delivery is a common practice in India. Although a lot of women are confused when it comes to massages after c sections. In General massages post delivery help a great deal in recovering, healing the body, relieving pain in the lower body, and helps in revitalizing the entire body.

Most doctors ask to delay body massages for the initial 2 weeks after cesarean delivery, But you can start after 3 days. Just make sure you hire an experienced and special masseuses. avoid the abdomen area massage. Let your surgery scar heal. Start with legs, feet, arms, hands, and head. Back massage can put pressure on the scar area if you lie down on your tummy. hence it should be avoided. If you are in too much pain, light strokes of massage while you are sitting, or lying on your sides will do. Once your scar heals as well as the doctor gives a green signal, you can go for light strokes of massage around your abdomen and scar area too. But make sure you take your doctor’s permission before doing so.

 

Nutrition after c-section

Before we see the Indian Diet Plan For Mothers After Cesarean Delivery, We first need to understand the nutrient requirement of women after c section.  In the first few days after delivery, a very light diet should be taken. However, the mother would need to resume her regular diet with lots of nutritious foods since she needs to replenish the nutrients that she has lost during pregnancy and she also needs to feed her little one. In fact, it is said that if the mother feeds her baby immediately after having a meal, the baby gets a wholesome meal too!

A mother should eat every few hours during lactation. Small frequent meals are advised since her stomach might not be able to digest huge quantities easily. The digestive system and bowel movements take some time to start functioning to their full capacity. Eat foods that are easily digested. Usually, bowel movements get back to normal 3 days after delivery but if that doesn’t happen, one should consult a doctor. It is advisable to eat something every two hours as that’s the duration after which you need to feed the baby!

  • Proteins 

Eating a protein-rich diet is a great way of healing the tissues and it is very important for the healthy growth of your baby. Proteins also help in maintaining the muscles after the surgery. Eggs supply zinc and proteins to your body. Fish is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are very beneficial for your health.

Sources of Protein –  Include foods such as eggs, chicken, fish, and meats if you are a non-vegetarian.  Vegetarians should eat dairy foods like milk and cheese, dried beans, peas, and nuts
  • Vitamins 

Vitamins should be taken in sufficient quantity since they contain a lot of antioxidants that help in repairing tissues. It also helps in producing collagen in the body which helps to build new scar tissues, tendons, and skin.

Sources of Vitamins- Eat fruits and vegetables that are rich in Vitamin C, such as melons, oranges, papayas, strawberries, grapefruits, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli.
  • Iron 

The mother loses a lot of blood during and after childbirth and thus the iron reserve in the body needs to be replenished. Lack of iron can make you weak and lethargic. Eat foods that are rich in iron. Take care not to eat excessive quantities of iron since it can lead to constipation.

Sources of Iron – include walnuts, red meat, oysters, dry fruits, figs, beef liver, and dried beans.
  • Calcium 

Calcium helps in relaxing the muscles, promoting bone and teeth health, in blood coagulation and in preventing osteoporosis. Milk should be had sparingly since it is a very good source of calcium and facilitates the production of milk for the baby. Yogurt is another way to supply calcium to your body. Yogurt also contains zinc and the most advantageous thing about it is that it can be consumed with a variety of dishes.

Sources of Calcium – The mother should include milk, cheese, yogurt, spinach, kale, and tofu to supplement the intake of calcium.
  • Fiber

Fiber is required so that you do not suffer from constipation. Constipation can put undue pressure on the wounds.  Fibrous fruits are not only very nutritious, but they also help to avoid constipation.

Sources of Fiber – Eat lots of raw vegetables and fruits as a salad in order to add roughage to your diet.
  • Water and fluids

Breastfeeding can make you exhausted and thirsty. The mother should take plenty of fluids in order to ease bowel movements and to produce a sufficient quantity of milk for the little one. You can drink low-fat milk since it is easier to digest. Take special care to avoid caffeine. caffeinated drinks include cold drinks, coffee, energy drinks, tea, carbonated drinks.

Sources of Fluids – non-citrus fruit juices, soups, coconut water, herbal teas, and buttermilk. Green teas are allowed too if you consume the decaffeinated ones.

Foods that increase Milk production in mothers

Indian Diet Plan For Mothers After Cesarean Delivery

Garlic (lehsun), Fenugreek leaves and seeds (Methi), fennel seeds (Saunf), Cumin seeds (Jeera), Sesame seeds ( Til), Almonds (Badaam), Bottlegourd (Lauki), Ridge Gourd (Tori), Spinach (Palak), Orange Lentils (Masoor dal), Oats and Daliya.

Foods to avoid after c-section

The activity level is low after delivery since you are advised to rest. Avoid all fatty foods and junk foods. These will only add on to the weight. Avoid eating spicy foods since they can cause gastric trouble. Your baby might also get the flavor in his milk.

  • Citrus juices and carbonated drinks should be kept at bay since they can cause flatulence and gas.
  • Caffeinated drinks such as tea and coffee should be taken in moderation only since these are diuretics. These drinks are high in caffeine and can cause problems in your baby’s growth.
  • It is better to stay away from alcohol as it can impair the mother’s ability to breastfeed and can cause developmental problems in the baby.
  • Avoid gas-forming foods like Urad dals, chole, rajma, chawali, channa, Besan, Pickles, Green peas, Dry peas. Vegetables like Cauliflower, cabbage, Bhindi, broccoli, Onions are better avoided for the first 40 days. Later on, they can be introduced in the mother’s diet slowly.

  • Avoid any sort of fried food. They are very difficult to digest in the first 40 days as well as it can lead to gas and stomach ache and burns.
  • Avoid ghee and rice for the first 3-4 days after C- section. After 4 days you can start eating rice once a day. Unlike the myth that says you should not eat rice as the scar will not heal. This is true in case if the mother is diabetic, as high blood sugar levels will interfere in the healing of scar, but for a non – diabetic average Indian women this does not hold true.
  • Very cold food and drinks. This restriction is imposed on the mother just for precaution. If the mother catches a cold, treatment becomes hard if she is breastfeeding. The medications are excreted in breast milk and the baby’s health gets affected too.

Now that you know about what foods are allowed and which foods should be avoided, let us see the detailed Indian Diet Plan For Mothers After Cesarean Delivery.

Many women wish to get back in shape soon after the delivery but that is practically inadvisable. Just as it takes time to gain weight during pregnancy, similarly, it does need time to lose the accumulated fat. Also, you now have the responsibility of feeding a growing baby and you cannot stop eating yourself. Not only can it harm your body after the surgery but, the baby can also become malnourished.

      yes you can start having small amount of besan . and after 10 -15 days introduce channa dal as well. but if you feel your baby gets colic / gas / or cries a lot after you feed her after consumption of these foods then you can delay these foods.

I am completely disheartened and have lost all my confidence . I used to weigh 65 kgs when i conceived but i was in pretty good shape even though weight was more because i was an ardent gym goer and loved lifting weights and training. Now i am a baloon and I feel soo depressed as i am breastfeeding still gaining weight instead of losing.

      Hi Vineeta,

      The massage helps in rejuvination of the body cells , strengthening the muscules and gaining over all strength back . If you dont really like it , you can drop it .. but it is really helpful.

    Peas and beans cause flatulence hence we would avoid them for the first 40 days.

      Hi Mallika , you can have eggs after 5 days of c section . for fish , you should wait for 15 – 20 days , and based on your digestion you can start with fish .

      Hi Neha , dont worry , this is the right time to introduce legumes in your diet .. just remember , that go sloww.. dont eat much at once … start by having 1/2 bowl or so .. and watch for symptoms , if you baby digests it wekl , you can then start having regular quantity.

      Hi Laxmi , yes you can start taking chicken now .. but start in less quantity .. and check if it affects your baby’s digestion after you feed … if all remains normal .. you can slowly start taking more chicken .. start with taking chicken soup ..

      Hi ,

      Firstly .. congratulation on the new addition in the family . secondly Please dont think about her belly now . give her time to relax and rest . this is common , and the body takes time to come back to normal. It is not that simple as you may want it to be . In C section the bleeding is generally less , so nothing to worry

          Peanuts will give you gas . wait for a few more weeks. and have it when you start mobilizing around the house.

    Hello ma’am
    I had my 2nd c section 2 months ago. I am a south Indian woman aged 32 yrs, working in a bank. I am 5.3 inches tall and now weigh up to 67kgs. I want to get rid of the weight gained during pregnancy and also become fit. So started following your diet plan. But was wondering if I will lose weight or gain weight with it. Seems like lot of eating the whole day. Moreover want to loose the belly fat after delivery and also the lower body part especially thighs. Please suggest both diet and suitable fitness plan. Thank you for your wonderful and informative webpage .

      Hi Bal,

      Back ache is a common problem in wome after delivery . are you taking Vit D and calcium , this helps a long way . how about your weight ? how much weight have you gained , if it is nominal , then fine . but other wise weight loss will hlp you in getting rid from this . I think if the pain is severe , it is best to see an ortho for it . you may require some physio therapy / exercises for correction of posture if that is an issue.
