About six to eight weeks after baby's birth, your c-section incision should be completely healed, and you'll be able to gradually resume most of your normal activities, including exercising, driving and lifting items heavier than baby.

How long does it take for internal wound to heal after C-section?

In most cases, you'll recover easily and quickly (within 6 to 8 weeks) and have just a small scar. Sometimes, you can do everything right and still have complications.

When can I stop covering my C-section incision?

Do not try to wash off the Steri-Strips or glue. It is OK to shower and pat your incision dry with a clean towel. They should fall off in about a week. If they are still there after 10 days, you can remove them, unless your provider tells you not to.
