Hey everyone!
I had an emergency section just over 2 weeks ago now
I keep having episodes (every couple of days) where I get a really bad pain in my rib / upper tummy area
I called mau as they said it’s trapped wind and told me to take buscopan and painkillers
I’m just wondering if anyone else experienced this and if so did you do anything to help the discomfort and when did it stop for you?
Thanks ☺️

I had this a little after mine, to be honest the only thing that worked was peppermint tea for me but I’ve always used that for digestive issues! X x

Anything peppermint!! Peppermint capsules, tea, chewing gum! It will ease it x

Laying on left side and rubbing tummy, also works for babies

Chewing gum helps with this apparently x

I used peppermint oil capsules (from Amazon) after my c section and didn’t have any problems at all

Deflatine worked really well for me to relieve trapped wind when pregnant and post op

Have you tried peppermint water?

Or I rate deflating generally!

Windeze tablets were a life save for me!

Try peppermint tea works amazing

Thanks so much everyone!! I have tried peppermint tea so I’ll keep with that!!xx

Windeeze tabs or boots do their own version. Lye on your left side after taking them & some soda water 👌🏻🤞🏻
Sorry just realised this was 3 days ago lol. Hope you’re ok now
