Thank you to the Breastfeeding Network.
✨Caesarean Awareness Month✨
Recovering from a caesarean can be tough, and it’s completely normal to need support while your body heals 💜
Moving around may feel painful at first, which is why pain relief is so important. For some, paracetamol and ibuprofen are enough, but many mums will need something stronger.
Strong painkillers are usually not needed for more than a few days, but everyone’s experience is different. If you’re in pain, please let someone know and ask for the support you need.
