C sections – how do mums feel afterwards?

Welcome

The acceptance of this intervention is constantly surprising me.
Looking at the statistics from The Farm, they (granted a different era and with loads of peer support) had their first C section in birth #186 – hardly in keeping with the current trend. 1.7%

Rising incidence in most countries.
May be due to the lack of well trained birth attendants and ??
Regardless – where is the way forwards after this major abdominal surgery at a time when the recipient must look primarily after another and is in a state of massive healing post birth as well as being expected to make food for her newborn?

What next?
We get to live with a body that may be very different
(And yes, we are grateful to be alive with our baby).

C-sections – how to fix the aftermath??

2 – How to gauge?

There are scars . .and adhesions. These create a lessening of movement – all viscera are to slide and glide – and when they do not  vague ‘wrongness’ gradually creeps in – and even standing up straight may become problematic.

Adhesions are left . .

 

Please listen for context – or maybe go straight to
NOTE – if you have had a C section, if you HAVE been surgically ‘helped’- please look after yourself as who knows what part of YOUR STUCK part may arise. .
