Question

I'm curious about how long it generally takes to recover after having a C-section. I'm also wondering if it's safe to begin using a maternity belt to support my abdomen during the recovery process.

After a C-section delivery, it typically takes about 6-8 weeks to fully recover. During this time, it is important to rest, avoid heavy lifting, and follow your doctor's post-operative instructions. You can use a maternity belt to support your abdomen and help with pain relief. It is recommended to wear the maternity belt for about 4-6 weeks post-delivery to provide support to the abdominal muscles.

Question

I'm a bit worried because my last menstrual period started on October 21st. On October 28th, my partner and I didn't have actual intercourse, just some rubbing of my vagina over his penis, and he's sure he didnt ejaculate. Just to be safe, I took the ipill on October 30th within 48 hours. Now, Ive been experiencing spotting since November 4th. It started with a few drops, then got heavier and red on the 5th, became even more on the 6th but was brown, and today, November 7th, the bleeding is red. Does this mean there's no chance of pregnancy?
