Best Tips For Healing After a C-Section

3 Comments

Six years ago today, I delivered my third child thru a C-Section. She is now 6 years old growing healthy and cheerful.

Whether your c-section is planned or unplanned, it’s likely that you already know that recovery time is important. What you do during your recovery could be the difference between a slow recovery and a quick one. C-section recovery often takes a lot longer than recovery from a natural birth because it involves major surgery.

If you want to get back on your feet as quickly as possible, here are some of the best tips.

Physical Activity

Although you’ll need to rest completely for at least twenty-four hours after surgery, it can help to start moving around as soon as possible. You’ll need to take your time and move slowly but any movement is better than none. Sit and rest when you need to and take plenty of time to bond with your new baby.

You may need some help getting in and out of the shower but standing in the shower can help you to regain your strength. You’ll find that laughing and coughing may cause some pulling or discomfort near your incision. It can help ease pain if you hold a cushion to your incision when you need to cough or laugh.

7 Ways To Make Doctor’s Visit Easier For Kids

3 Comments

Children need to see doctors for immunization, check-up, and to track growth and development. As a parent, you know how hard it can be to make child doctor visits easier for your kids. Some kids don’t react at all, while others can become scared of a stranger trying to assess them. Picking the right time can help with behavior issues, and making them comfy also helps. Sharing here 7 ways to make doctor’s visits easier for kids. Try to apply them, you’ll find out how effective they are.

1. Request a Home Visit

Not all doctor visits have to be at the clinic. You can inquire and request a home visit if your child has an extreme reaction to the office or cannot make it in. There are also some procedures, such as developmental pediatric screening, that doctors prefer to carry out at home. Being in a familiar environment where they feel safe and more in control can be a huge help when a doctor treats your kids. However, ask first because not all doctors are able to come to your home.

2. Make Child Doctor Visits Easier at the Right Time

There are times when your kids will be better behaved or happier than others. For example, you probably know the times when they are grumpy, hungry, or hyper. So it can help to book an appointment at times when you know your kids will be more accepting of a doctor. Of course, every child is different. In most cases, an early morning visit works best when they are in a happier and more lively mood. Therefore, try to book an appointment at around 9 am.

3. Keep Yourself Composed

One of the best ways to keep your kids calm is to stay calm. The way you behave and how you treat your children when they are in distress can have a big impact on their mood and habits while you are out. For example, if your child is misbehaving, try not to shout at them and speak calmly. This will also help keep any other children in the clinic calm as well. Any discomfort your child is feeling will only be made worse if you begin to become annoyed or upset as well. Continue reading →
