C Section Recovery and incision care

C Section recovery is an important period of time where you need to take good care of yourself, to give yourself the chance of a fuller recovery. Typically, this takes atleast 6 weeks. But not all women fully recover after a cesarean section. In fact, many women complain about long term soreness and unsitely large scars.

Here are a few tips to help you achieve a better C Section recovery outcome from your home.

1. Support for your abdomen.
   Doing basic movements such as getting out of bed, getting up for a walk, or sitting down, will be very trying and very painful. The best thing you could do to reduce the pain is to wear a postpartum belt from the C Section Recovery kit. This belt will also help put your 'innards' back in place.
   


2. Prevent Infection.
   Infection can be caused from moisture build up around the incision, not sterilizing the incision area, turning or twisting your body which can lead to tearing and risk of infection. Infection will extend the recovery period and potentially cause a larger scar. The postpartum belt from the C Section Recovery kit can prevent infection by protecting your incision area and allowing your body to move more freely without tearing at your incision.
   


3. A Walk in the garden.
   Walking is essential to healing. It improves circulation around your body and stimulate the healing process. You should walk out to your garden or balcony regularly and gradually increase your time walking outdoors. A postpartum belt will support your posture as you get ready for your walk and improve your posture while you’re walking.



4. Pelvic Tilt exercises.
   Another integral part of C Section Recovery is to strengthen your lower abdominal muscles by doing pelvic tilt exercises. Pelvic tilts are easily performed a few times a day by lying down with knees bent, and pressing your lower back towards the floor. Hold it for 5-10 secs and release. Repeat again.
   


5. Scar therapy.
   The Scar therapy guide in the C Section Recovery kit shows you how it is possible to reduce your scar to an almost invisible line in just a few minutes a day. A skin brush is also provided to flatten the scar and eliminate ingrown hairs.

These are the important tips for a better C Section Recovery with less chance of secondary complications that contribute to long term soreness. See more info on C Section Recovery kit.
