  • Primarily, that you never heal, get infections, need stitches redone, etc.


  • Sorry to see nobody answered your question yet !
    You can’t lift heavy things after giving birth because this places too much pressure on your abdomen and uterus. This is especially true if you had a c-section. There is a small chance that your incisions can burst open, leading to delayed wound healing, and possibly a hernia.
