lesley's tip

After your operation, the large abdominal muscles that have supported your growing womb can feel quite sore and tissues which have been cut during the surgery and stitched back together need time to recover and heal.

Make yourself a comfy ‘nest’ – whether it’s your bed, the sofa or a rocking chair, you’ll be spending much time on them resting, feeding and recovering. Make this ‘nest’ cosy and comfortable with plenty of supportive cushions, a heat-pack for ‘after-pains’ or back-ache, and all you’ll need to keep you well: jug of water, snacks, phone charger, books and TV remote.

After giving birth by C-section, bruising, swelling and soreness is common. This midwife developed C-section Essentials Collection is a must-have to help aid post birth with your C-section recovery.

Our award winning Spritz for Bits provides instant relief to itching C-section scars, and Soak for Bits is a must have to add to your bath after a C-section birth.  Both are packed with essential oils which have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties to help soothe swelling, bruising and to clean and protect.

Fantastic Skin Elastic is perfect to massage your C-section scar, once wounds have healed, and has been specially developed to help to soothe and hydrate skin that can become dry and irritable as it heals, as well as improving the appearance and condition of scar tissue through massage.

C-section birth is major abdominal surgery and recovery time can vary from one woman to another. This means that after your C-section you will need to take extra care when moving about and lifting things. Rest, self-care and nourishment are key to recovery and the healing process during this time.
