  • Title: [Reconvalescence following Caesarean section].
    Author: Sharif H, Glavind J, Uldbjerg N.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2009 Sep 28; 171(40):2902-5. PubMed ID: 19814937.
    Abstract:
    Recommendations for reconvalescence and restriction of physical activity after elective caesarean section are not consistent and there is a lack of evidence on the subject. Although physiological changes are rapidly normalized after the operation, the women experience an extended period characterized by fatigue caused by lack of sleep due to nursing and breastfeeding of the baby. This paper accounts for the effects of post-operative pain, breastfeeding, fatigue, sexuality and physical recovery in the period of reconvalecence following elective caesarean section.
