✨ Nearly HALF of births in the UK are now by C-section… yet many women still feel unprepared for recovery ✨
As of 2024–25, around 42–45% of births in England are by C-section—now slightly higher than vaginal births for the first time.
That’s a huge shift.
But support around recovery, scar healing, and getting your body back still isn’t talked about enough.
💛 You deserve to feel informed, supported, and confident in your recovery.
This C-Section Awareness Month, we’re here to change that.
Over the coming weeks, we’re sharing a complete blog series to guide you through every stage:
• Preparing for a Planned C-Section
• What Happens During a C-Section (Planned or Emergency)
• What’s Normal in Recovery (and what’s not)
• Understanding Your Scar & Sensation
• Scar Care, Massage & Lymphatouch
• Core, Breath & Pelvic Floor Recovery
• Returning to Exercise Safely
• Hands-On Therapy, Nutrition & Self-Care
Because recovery isn’t just about waiting for time to pass…
It’s about how your body heals, moves, and feels long after birth.
👩⚕️ At One Health Osteopathy Clinic, we specialise in helping you recover properly—not just “get through it.”
