A common question from postpartum patients is How long will my recovery take? Remember that each person’s recovery will look different, but a general guideline for c-section recovery is written below!
C-section Recovery Timeline
0-2 weeks: initial scar healing phase, limited mobility
2-4 weeks: uterus and deeper fascial layers healing, okay to do light walking
4-8 weeks: incision should be healed by end of this timeframe, gradual increase in mobility
8-12 weeks: fully closed and healed scar, gradual return to prior exercise and activities
