Oh gosh, a few of us who had c-sects were also told this only after the fact, so you are definitely not alone. Bending too much too soon can put strain on your incision and slow down healing, so it is good that you are checking now. Try to keep things at a reachable height for the time being, like getting someone to help you or using a small stool to rest things on. It would be good to mention this to your PD or gynae at your next visit just so they can check that your wound is healing well, especially since you have been bending quite a bit.
