This video saved me honestly. After watching this video (4 days after my C-section) , I took my BP and it was 170/110! I wasn't having any symptoms of pre e but I'm so glad I took my BP when I did. Ended up going to the hospital and getting started on magnesium before any symptoms occurred. This video helped me to catch it early which I will be forever grateful for. Thank you!!

[@SouthernSophis]

I'm just now seeing this comment and let me just say first, I'm glad you are okay. I know that was such a scary thing 🥹❤️. But also I wanted you to know you just encouraged me to get back to creating videos. Thank you

I'm having my 4th c-section in 4weeks Another tip: When your about to stand up, Breathe in deep, and as you stand up breathe out slow! It helps!!!

Hey, I just had my baby 4 days via c-section. Did they all feel different?

[@ashleycrandle365]

Thank you for this video! I had an emergency section and didn’t have much time to figure out how to prepare for recovery so now I can get what I need! ♥️

[@NascenceMidwifery]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I am a midwife and looking for a straightforward resource for my clients who have that change of plans. I've watched hours of videos really just looking for the "what to expect" and "what should I have on hand" in the postpartum period when you've had a cesarean and this is the ONLY video that fully fit the bill.

[@lyessiel]

This video was SO informative and SO helpful. Thank you for linking everything and taking the time to explain everything. You are a saint girl 😭🙌🏼❤️

[@MinxUp]

Thank you for making this video!! I had an emergency C-section with my son and had no idea what to expect and how to recover. I’m having my second c-section in July and your video has given me so much more confidence about my recovery!!

[@AlyssaLuxXOXO]

This was amazing! I’m 32 weeks with my second pregnancy/ c-section, this helped a ton!

[@alexgirl82]

thank you for showing how to use some of the products, too - super helpful!

[@komalkamran5554]

Probably the best explanation of the things needed after a C-section!

[@lisbypenelope]

Definitely most helpful video I’ve seen. Thank you so much

[@bellaw.8630]

The video I’ve been looking for, thank you!!

[@rachaelcannon6145]

Thank you for acknowledging hypertension after birth . Most women unless you are aware already of preeclampsia or eclampsia do not know anything about it . To come across your video of just a general what you need after csection video and see and hear you talk about this is AMAZING!! I experienced this first handed after my 5th child and your right that BP monitor and my quick action going to hospital saved my life!!! More women should be made aware of this not to scare them but educate them. Great job 👏 on adding this in !!

[@iokuok2]

God bless people like you! Im the Grandma and Im sending this to the Dad. Really gives a heads up on whay you went through.

Great tips, no rambling. Thank you for all of the helpful tips 🙏🏽

[@GeoMalak]

14 days postpartum. My wife was in labor for 27 hours and 1cm dilated. She eventually got the epidural and dilated to 3cm. The baby head was not descending and was sunny side up. After her water broke, there was less time left to wait for his head to come down. Doctor came in and suggested she get a c-section. It was the safest option for mom and baby. The cord was wrapped around his neck. Her recovery has been challenging but is getting better everyday.

[@msb9938]

Aww congratulations on your bundle.

[@savannahbenedict876]

You’re an angel! Thank you for posting this!

[@corpselizzy]

In November I'm having my second csection, I'm actually excited I was perfectly ok with having another as I nearly died having my first before I had my csection. I feel calmer knowing I'm having a set date to go and I'll get to see my baby then I won't have to wait to go into labor!

[@epboe7100]

Thank you dear! Great advice! ❤️

[@LisaMichelleRogers]

Thank you! Your video is so helpful.

[@aprilschellman2472]

This is such an important video and we don't see nearly enough of them. I had an unplanned C-section after 40+5 of pregnancy and 40 hours of labor. Having a repeat C-section in a few weeks. The other thing you need the stool for is feeding baby whether nursing or bottle feeding. Keep your legs supported and maintain good posture.

[@stephaniebenjamin8108]

This has been so comforting to me as I'm going to be a first time mom at 42...it's scary but I am considering to do plan a c section. I wish you can do a video on the REAL nitty gritty of how to really apply safe self care for the wound, when and how to bath, pooping etc , I know it sounds gross but I've heard horror stories. Hold my hand lol

[@ekpedemeetim2404]

You'll be fine trust me.

[@maribellopez7041]

Just had an emergency c-section at 44. The wound heals fine. The anesthesia pits your intestines to sleep so the poop is awful. You WILL need help the first two weeks. First few days I couldn’t get up to pick up my baby.

[@ck-wn3ru]

Stool softners are going to be ur best friend. Wound heals fine. May feel sharp lighting kind of pain every now and then after as i did for up for a year after but like 6 times a year kinda thing nothing majorly bad

[@AT-hm9fv]

Same here.. first time mom at 39 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@lucystephenson7306]

39 just had 1st baby. Elected c section via ga. Everyone advised don't. Said I wouldn't bond with baby etc. Best decision ever. 8 days later and I'm moving about and getting on. It's painful yes but manageable with paracetamol and ibropfen. I love my daughter and the op was worth the safety it brought me and her. V birth hold much higher risk for older first time mum. Also I've had no pain or issue with bowel movements. I have no bladder control issues either. And obviously I'm completely undamaged vaginally

[@brittneyasha8438]

Very very helpful! Thank you 🙏🏾

[@SimplyE23]

This video is eading my mind so much. I'm pregnant with my 2nd and my docs are thinking a C section due to bleeding risk that came with me having cancer previously and I was in panic trying to find a sister's story and recovery products...I'm shaking in my boots but thank you so much for this

[@chitown2222]

I had an emergency c-section last week with my second baby and I wish I would have known all of this beforehand. I should have done the research just in case but I didn't. I had to go buy a bunch of stuff the day we left the hospital. Not fun at all but i got through it. My damn feet and legs are the most annoying. I can't do sh**. Because they are swollen. I'm currently sleeping on our sofa that reclines. Please Please research c sections just in case it needs to happen. The hospital had no time to go over anything with us and scrambling after a major surgery no one wants to be out shopping. Great video lady.

[@ranaamache]

Thanks for the video :) My c section is scheduled in 5 days and I'll look into buying the products you recommended.

[@WalaaHR]

Very helpful thank you so much!

[@happymomchristina8211]

Girl, few minutes into the video and I already love you

[@handymom9039]

Great advice. I had my second C-section 7 days ago and found your video and decided to see if there was anything different I could try. I’d found a lot of videos on what to expect but not as many on how to recover and what products help. Thanks so much. You’ve given me some ideas of new things to try since recovery from a C-section seems to be way different from vaginal delivery. Ive only had C-sections so I don’t have anything to compare it to but it seems that most people that haven’t experienced it, do not understand how major it is. Thanks again!

I was the same, I've just had my second csection (my first one was 7 years ago) and I had one 3 weeks ago. I was so unprepared for my second csection and I wish I had planned it better 😭 although 5 days afterwards I was almost back to myself so recovery is quick xx

[@abrielmixon7363]

This is a very good video… where was the video when I had my first C-Section? I do recommend this video, she is definitely not lying about any products that you may need. You definitely need all products from recovering from a C-Section in order to heal properly and remain comfortable as possible. I’m definitely prepared for my second C-section but not ready for the process.

Thank you for mentioning the bp monitor! I had postpartum preeclampsia starting at one week postpartum with baby number 6. I never had it with any of the other pregnancies or postpartum. It can be scary and there is really not enough info out there about postpartum preeclampsia. I didn't even know it existed until i went through it myself!

[@kaylamar1288]

I am going in for my fourth C-section in three months. I looked for a video like this, just as a good recap for myself. I 100% agree with everything you listed! I'm also really glad to see the belly binder that you bought off of Amazon. It's the exact one that I was looking into purchasing this time around, so I'm glad to hear that you like it!! One more thing that is a staple item in my recoveries (and I'm sure this isn't for everyone) but, after a C-section, I always tend to either be really nauseous, or get car sick super easily. I carry around pre-wrapped rubbing alcohol wipes everywhere with me! ~If you sniff them, they completely take the nauseous feeling away~ 💕 Great video!!

This is my fourth section too! I totally agree with EVERYTHING she’s listing too🤗 Thank you for your advice as well... GOOD LUCK ☺️

Thank you so so much for this video! I am a ftm, first pregnancy 27 weeks tomorrow and my daughter has significant micrognathia from a chromosome deletion she has and depending on how she is swallowing towards the end of my pregnancy and her size as she is measuring small, they may need to do a c-section so I am trying to prepare for either vaginal or c-section delivery (I personally feel like every pregnant woman should prepare for either as you just never know what will happen until your in it). Thank you again! super helpful
