C Section Advice

The first 48 hours after will be rough. Let people help you! I got a binder when I was in the hospital but if you want a specific kind of binder you can get that. The binder helped me a lot for the first few days.

Biggest advice, when you are able to walk, do so! It helps the healing. I was able to move around pretty well after a week.

I know its scary. My baby was breeched too so I had a c section in January. My memory is pretty fresh about it so message me if you have any other questions! You will do great!

hi! i had an emergency c-section but i do have advise for afterwards! definitely take all the pain meds they offer! if u keep urself dosed up at their recommendation it helps massively my biggest mistake was trying to thug it threw, i’d definitely wear a binder it helps with keeping your core straight as slouching makes pain worse, bring a pillow for holding ur scar down while laughing,coughing and sneezing also if you need help in hospital or at home, always ask so that your not running yourself down, rest as much as possible!!

If you plan to breastfeed, bring a hands free pump to help boost your supply and do warm compresses often (the first few days will be only bits of colostrum most likely so don’t fret right away or feel pressured to use any alternatives. Trust your gut. Silver cups for nip comfort). Also! A nursing pillow is helpful for your arms if you don’t have a lot of strength :) and stay hydrated and fed as much as possible. Those are my best tips. Period underwear will be your best friend until that period stops. And make sure you have a lot of meals prepped for at least a month bc you’re gonna be so tired you won’t want to cook anything except a frozen meal.
