Pregnant After One C-Section:

Must You Have Another Surgery?”
This question scares so many mamas…
“My first baby was CS because of fetal distress… does that mean I can never push?”
Mama, listen carefully
One previous C-section does NOT automatically mean you must have another one.
Many women are good candidates for VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) — especially if: Your previous CS was due to fetal distress (not because your pelvis was too small)
:You had a low transverse uterine incision
:There are no current pregnancy complications
But…
-VBAC must be done in a hospital that can perform an emergency CS if needed.
-Not every woman is a cndidate.
-Proper monitoring is important.
Let's know the truth
Some women successfully deliver vaginally after one CS.
Some may need a repeat CS — and that is okay too.
The goal is a SAFE mother and SAFE baby.
Your previous birth does not define this one

Reasons why your ulcer is not healing

Many people treat ulcers, yet the pain keeps coming back.
If an ulcer refuses to heal, it’s usually because the real cause is still there.

🔑 An ulcer will not heal if H. pylori infection is still present.
This bacteria damages the stomach lining.
If treatment does not fully clear it, the ulcer keeps reopening.

🔑 Using painkillers like ibuprofen, diclofenac, or aspirin slows healing.
These drugs weaken the stomach’s protective layer.
Even small daily doses can keep an ulcer active.

🔑 Skipping or stopping ulcer drugs too early is a major reason.
Ulcers need weeks to heal fully.
Stopping once pain improves allows it to come back stronger.

🔑 Smoking delays healing.
Ni****ne reduces blood flow to the stomach lining.
This makes repair slow and incomplete.

🔑 Alcohol irritates the ulcer surface.
It increases stomach acid and damages healing tissue.
Regular drinking can keep the ulcer open.

🔑 Poor diet habits matter.
Eating late at night, too much spicy food, or heavy fatty meals increases acid release and pain.

🔑 Severe stress affects stomach acid and healing hormones.
Long-term stress can slow recovery even when drugs are correct.

🔑 Some ulcers don’t heal because of wrong diagnosis.
Not all stomach pain is an ulcer.
Gallbladder disease or reflux can mimic ulcer pain.

🔑 Rarely, an ulcer that won’t heal may be due to stomach cancer.
This is more likely in older adults or with weight loss and vomiting blood.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR ULCER IS NOT HEALING

- Complete your full medication course
- Test and treat H. pylori properly
- Stop unnecessary painkillers
- Avoid smoking and alcohol
- Eat small, regular meals
- See a doctor if pain lasts beyond 4–8 weeks

An ulcer that doesn’t heal is a warning, not something to ignore.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING CUCUMBER

Cucumber is more than just water.
It is one of the healthiest and most refreshing foods you can add to your daily diet.

Light, crunchy, and affordable, cucumber quietly supports many parts of the body.
Below are the benefits of eating cucumbers
Promotes Hydration & Detoxification

· Their high water content helps you meet daily fluid needs, supports kidney function, and helps flush out toxins.

2. Supports Weight Management

· Very low in calories but high in volume and water, which can promote feelings of fullness and reduce overall calorie intake.

3. Rich in Antioxidants

· Contains flavonoids, triterpenes, and tannins, which fight free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and may lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.

4. May Help Regulate Blood Sugar

· Some animal and test-tube studies suggest cucumber may help lower blood sugar and prevent diabetes-related complications, though more human research is needed.

5. Supports Heart Health

· Potassium helps regulate blood pressure by counteracting sodium.
· Fiber can help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL).
· Their antioxidants also contribute to cardiovascular protection.

6. Promotes Digestive Health

· The water and fiber (especially in the skin) can help prevent constipation and promote regularity for a healthy digestive tract.

7. Good for Skin Health

· Hydration from within improves skin moisture.
· Silica is a compound in cucumbers that supports connective tissue (collagen). Applied topically, cucumber slices can soothe puffy eyes and skin irritation due to their cooling and mild anti-inflammatory effect. Etc

The exact cause of this condition remains a mystery.

However, it's been attributed to abnormal skin function, nervous response, or immune system functions.

It can be hereditary, but no specific gene has been identified yet.

Other times, it may occur as a result of other conditions like polycythemia vera, chronic urticaria, and certain blood cancers.
(Don’t let the big medical terminology bother you)

🏷️WHERE DOES IT OCCUR

This condition can appear in nearly every part of your body but it's more common on the legs, arms, chest, and back.
