Help needed

Honestly, tomorrow will be worse (for some reason 3rd day was worse for me and so many others) but it’ll start getting so much better by Thursday 💜

It’s only temporary momma, it hurts like a bitch physically mentally and emotionally but take the few days to do as little as possible and the rest is plain sailing 🥰

Move around gently and try not to lie down too much
Keep on top of painkillers even if you feel like you don’t need them
Chew chewing gum to help with trapped wind
Wash your scar with plain water daily and keep it dry afterwards

Do as little as possible and don’t over do it, it does get better after a week for me. I had an unplanned c-section nearly 2 weeks ago

Don’t sit around . Make sure you keep moving but listen to your body and don’t over do it .
Make sure you’re staying ontop of pain meds , I found switching between paracetamol & ibuprofen so I was taking something every 3 hours worked (if the hospitals given you anything make use of that aswell!)
Use some form of laxative even if you feel you don’t need to.
Make sure you’re drinking plenty.

Anything peppermint, chewing chewing gum & hot drinks help with trapped wind

Be kind to yourself! I’ve had two C-sections (one emergency one planned) and the first days are rough but it does get better

Are you still in hospital - if so, make sure to stay on top of those pain meds. If not, they should give you pain meds on discharge. Move around but don’t overdo it. Most importantly, you do need to let your body rest.

I also had an emergency c section, but ended up in hospital for 5 days - so I made sure to make the most of any help.

It does get better. You’ve got this mumma ♥️

2 weeks I felt like normal again xx
