C-section moms! What were some things that helped during your recovery? A friend of mine just had her son via C-section and I wanted to give her some comforts that’ll make things a little easier for her. This is her first baby so on top of the surgery
Okay - I just recovered - afew things , the second she’s able to walk TELL HER TO WALK!!!! Walking around helped me heal and helped the gas in my stomach come out !! There’s so much air going into her stomach while the c section is happening hee stomach will be super gassy! Another thing , pooping will be SCARY! Tell her not to push, if she does - witch hazel pads in the butt ! Sounds crazy but it healed my horrible hemrroids - I’ll post a pic of it . Another thing c section underwear . It goes over the belly button so she won’t be scared it’ll touch the scar . Also ask for gauze to put under the belly on the scar keeps it from getting wet ( scar should stay dry ) . If I think of more I’ll post !
Rice bags or heating pads were a must have for me! They really help the incision.. I also used a belly band that I happened to really like if you’re looking into getting her gifts :)
I was thinking of doing a new mom/c-section recovery care package for her
She should take it easy for the most part. Take pain meds as needed. Possibly a belly band but that is something she should talked to with her doctor.
I’m scheduled for a c section Thursday and I’m a bit nervous.
Have any of you had a c section? If so what was your experience?

Some is unintentional but many of these uninformed comments can be quite offensive and hurtful. And they are completely missing the fact, that the most important thing is that both the mom and baby are healthy and happy.👶🏽
Here are six things you should not say to a C-section mom.
1️⃣ “Too bad you couldn’t have a normal birth.”

And take the pain meds ! A lot of people don’t want to / don’t be a hero . Take them round the clock until she feels okay enough to stop .
