Trapped wind after C-section

I have recently heard that chewing gum straight after a section helps with trapped wind. I will be taking some in my bag this time to help. Oh and peppermint tea is also supposed to help.

Peppermint tea can really help. And if you haven't had your first poops yet, start taking lactulose to help with that too!

Peppermint Tea

Peppermint or lemon and ginger tea, pure orange juice helped me naturally as was on so many meds after c section didn’t want to add laxatives too it also this also prevented trapped wind and as much walking as possible within your own capability I found even just standing helped my first c section I had to stay in another night due to severe trapped wind and had to have morphine but they advised all this and have been doing this since day 1 for my second 3 weeks in now and haven’t suffered as of yet 💙

So sorry to hear that , joys of c section 🥲🫶🏼From my experience peppermint or fennel tea, drink lots of warm water and try moving as much as possible and trust me, it will pass ❤️

Peppermint can help (tea gum etc) watch out if you are breastfeeding though it can dip supply for some people 🙂 x (I used warm lemon water to help digestion after my c section along with the lactose)

Any thing peppermint flavour wil help ... I also had gripe water and that helped me xx

Peppermint tea and Buscopan will save your life. Those gas pains are worse than labour in my opinion 😖

Lactulose was my best friend after both C-sections

I had this soooooo bad but peppermint tea helped

Peppermint tea

If you are breastfeeding stay away from peppermint!!

Deflatine tablets work really well for me

Anise tea
Cumin tea

I stoped taking the oramorph they sent me home with and just stuck to paracetamol and ibuprofen. The oramorph was making me so constipated 🙈 I also made sure I walked round the house as much as I possibly could

heating pad!!!! saved my life also walking, walking will help move it up & out. also gasx or some type of gas relief.

Buscopan! The mint one

Peppermint tea and a hot water bottle and some gentle walking round does wonders x

Heating pad, warm showers, and walking helped me!

I had both peppermint tea as well as chewing gum after my c section and it helped me tremendously.

I also breastfeed and didn’t affect my supply at all.

Also try walking around as much as possible..

I lived and breathed peppermint tea after my second for about 2 weeks. Has no issues with my milk supply. It is only an issue if you are drinking large amounts of peppermint tea.

Gas medicine and TONS of it! I got it in my chest and it felt like I was having a heart attack

Peppermint tea and peppermint capsules ( you can find this in boots).

Anything minty really helped me. Tea and mints mainly

I feel like I should know what trapped wind is but someone please tell me. lol 2 c-sections and no clue what that is
