C Section Tips

Question

Hello! Might have to do elective c section as baby still breech at 37 weeks. Mummies who have gone through c section, what are your best tips? Anything from postpartum essentials to recovery to long-term recovery (scarring, overhang etc) 🥺 #firsttimemom

Bring a straw to the hospital for drinking water, so you don’t have to sit up right to do it. Get the nurse to measure your waist and buy a belly support wrap at the hospital. It helps to support and secure your stomach. Apply scar gel religiously. Take painkillers, it helps. Generally, my recovery was a smooth one. Nothing much to worry about. All the best to you!
