A c-section is a major surgery that needs special care (it is not as simple as just 6 weeks of rest and not lifting anything heavier than your baby). A c-section is major abdominal surgery where an incision is made through seven different layers of tissue; skin, subcutaneous fat, fascia, muscle, peritoneum, uterus, amniotic sac. The fact that c-sections have become such a common practice does not minimize the profound surgery it is, both physically and emotionally.
