I can't believe the progress seeing this video! I thought I'd talk a little about the recovery, and if you do choose to read on just remember that this is just my own experience based on my experience of vaginal birth (Alf) and an elective caesarian birth (with Ada). I know people who have easy recoveries with vaginal and complicated recoveries with Caesarians. So, my c Section recovery has been SO much more smooth sailing and quicker than my vaginal birth. With my first birth I'd say it took about 22 months - a lot of treatment and pain, rectocele, incontinence, and diagnosis of vaginismus along the way. As someone who's always been fit and healthy, I thought I'd have recovered so quickly and it left me feeling quite terrified of my body and in pain! With my c section, the first few days were tough. But it felt good being able to see the scar. And after about 7 days it's been getting easier and easier. I've not gone back to exercise yet - well, I mean carrying a baby around is exercise in itself! But I'm being over cautious about recovery, so I've only really done stretches - I've got a reel about C Section exercises that my physio @martadowner gave me if you're interested. But I'm starting to feel ready and more confident for more now and I think it'll be good for me to start to feel stronger and to correct my twisted back! I've had a few sessions of scar treatment on my scar called the Lympha Touch - again @martadowner has done this. Although I've not done it for a few months. And I've been using the Scarban plaster which I've had to replace every 6 weeks or so. Mainly I've just been massaging it with oil every night and keeping it really hydrated. I'm pretty happy with the results almost 7 months in. I always see chatter about people feeling robbed of a real birth for having a caesarian, but for me, I feel it gave me the change for a real birth. A positive experience after a traumatic one. I'm sure it's made a real difference to both my motherhood experience and Ada's newborn experience. So choose the birth that empowers you. ❤️💫🙏」10月3日 4時56分
