C-section recovery remains a mystery to so many mums. It's C-section Awareness Month and we're filling a gap in C-section aftercare, once and for all.
If you've given birth via C-section, you'll know that there are so many things to think about when it comes to healing your body. Your doctor will probably tell you to keep your wound clean and not to drive for 6 weeks, but this doesn't begin to cover the information you need to know. What happens when you cough? How do you safely get out of bed? Why does constipation feel worse than the C-section itself? We've created a recovery guide to answer all of these queries, and more.
Why did we launch a C Section Recovery Guide?
We've always prided ourselves on being more than just a skincare brand. Motherhood is personal, and we get to know our customers pretty well. We've been overwhelmed by DMs and emails from C-section mums, telling us how little support they received after giving birth.
We surveyed over 2,000 C-section mums and we found that C-section recovery remains a mystery to most of you. A whopping 91% of you said that you were given no advice on scar healing, with the same number given no long-term support, such as physiotherapy or recovery plans.
With roughly 1 in 4 mums giving birth via C-section in the UK, we figured something had to be done. So, we sent out an SOS to some of the most knowledgeable experts in C-section recovery and boy, did they pull through. Together we created a free C-section recovery guide to help fill the gap in information.
