April is Caesarean Section awareness month.
We are so lucky to have access to this life saving surgery, however it isn't without it's complications.
I see lots of mums who experience issues months and even years post their surgery. Scar tissue and adhesions can form which can affect their bowel, bladder or uterus. It can lead to infertility, pelvic pain and painful periods.
🟣 Adhesions are a band of scar tissue that forms on organs in the abdomen. They can cause organs to stick to one another or to the wall of the abdomen.
🟣 The massage works at helping to stimulate blood flow to the affected scar tissue (hypoxia is a cause of adhesions)
🟣 Uterine position can be affected by adhesions. Loosening these restrictions can help the uterus fall into its natural position. The uterus will be freer to contract and therefore aid effective cleansing each month
To all my C-Section Mamas - you are true warriors who get up and provide for your baby and family after major surgery as only a mother could.
When the time is right for you, please take the time to invest in your own recovery and wellness too.
