More C-section talk today on the blog. I share the birth experience of my daughter. Right from the start, vaginal birth was not an option. ~Link in bio~ Feel free to share your c-section story as well. We can invision how we want things to happen, but sometimes life throws us for a loop and plans change.❤ #csectionawareness #BirthPlan #KnowYourOptions #BirthExperience #SelfCareMama #coddledotco
IF THE WORDS YOU SPOKE APPEARED ON YOUR SKIN. WOULD YOU STILL BE BEAUTIFUL? —— I read this a few weeks ago and it struck a cord. I also read that we should speak to ourselves as you would to a baby. Sweetly and softly. Because we are what we say and do, not what we intend to. #putyourselffirst #dontforgetyou #fthemomguilt #coddledotco @caribbeanlookbook
Previously we shared @birthkweens info that deep diaphramatic breathing can help to heal scar tissue from a cesarean. The motion pumps the area free of any stagnant fluid & helps to gently move/stretch all the tissues throughout the whole body. It was then reiterated during our live session with @functionalpelvis that deep belly breathing is good for your pelvic floor, which is important to every mother. Seeing a pattern here? Let's get to deep breathing, mamas! How to do it: Lay down face up, hands on side ribs OR place your right hand on your left side ribcage & the left hand on your right shoulder and take a deep breath. When you inhale, you should feel your ribs and belly expand out, and shoulders should move minimally. If not, you’ll likely need to retrain yourself to breathe. #CoddleTipTuesday Give yourself a few minutes each day to actively breathe, to heal yourself, to strengthen from within. ❤ #csectionawareness #PelvicFloor #MindfulBreathing #PutYourselfFirst #SelfCareMama #coddledotco 📷:@l.katephotography
CSECTION SELF CARE Ruth here: It’s #csection awareness month, all week long I’ll share my #csection experience as well as the need to know facts about it. I previously had a myomectomy, so the only route for me was a #csection. I lost a lot of blood and had to get a transfusion. But when you have that first cesarean, NOTHING can prepare you mentally + even physically... so here’s a bit of what truly happens: - • From the moment you get wheeled in its a little daunting especially when you have the spinal block, something about a large needle being put into my spine is scary borderline nerve racking. • That tugging feeling... Yep, when your baby is on its way out, you will feel like a tugging sensation + it will feel weird but doesn't hurt. After the tugging comes baby. —— • Breastfeeding after a c-section it can be SO uncomfortable + if you are uncomfortable don't be afraid to say so! Don't put up with pain!!! • That first time you have to get up, the nurses are always keen to get you up and moving + it's scary because you feel as though your insides are going to feel like they are going to fall out. That first time standing can be brutal & even leave you feeling nauseous but I promise it does get better and your insides won't fall out. —— • The catheter or pee bag, it's necessary when you have a c-section but don't worry, you don't have it forever and you won't wet yourself after it's been taken out! —— •If you are choosing to breastfeed make sure you are comfortable - obviously your midsection is going to be sore. Most times a lactation consultant is available so ask about different positions so you + your baby are comfortable because you don't have to endure pain! —— •Once you are up + moving it will be about your bowel movements + passing 💨 which can be slightly embarrassing + scary, if nothing's happening give your body time. As the meds get passed out your body. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Did you have a csection? How was your experience? #coddledotco #dontforgetyou #csectionrecovery @stopcensoringmotherhood
