Caesarean section - I will not hide that I have two behind me. It is not a routine procedure, it is a major operation where several abdominal integuments are cut. Women after cesarean often take longer and more difficult to recover than those after giving birth to the forces of nature. How to prepare for a cesarean section and how to care for a scar?
If, like us, you are struggling with the suspicion of allergy to cow's milk protein, maybe you will be inspired by our second story ... this time with a happy ending. For what? For reliable diagnostics, to find wise doctors with a calling, with open minds, hearts and experience, to fight for the best.
The lactation crisis can affect us at every stage of breastfeeding. Did you know that according to the data of the Central Statistical Office of Poland in 99,4% of women after breastfeeding start breastfeeding, but after 6 weeks only half feeds?
That is why every single day of breastfeeding is our great victory. Most of us finally give up in the fight for feeding, mainly because we do not have access to the right knowledge, support, help or just a warm word, and even have to fight with loved ones who are young, insecure in a new role moms say that she has "weak milk", that "the baby is hungry" and "treats you like a pacifier" (by the way, it is worth answering the question which came first: breast or a pacifier? ?).
I have always heard about the lactation crisis as the beginning of the milky way and was prepared for it. However, the lack of food after a few weeks of feeding completely surprised me.
Many young mothers not only during pregnancy, but also during the first weeks of life, need a little help and someone who will professionally answer all her questions. Do you know your midwife's support during pregnancy and after delivery, and even 2 times a week? How many home visits can you expect and how should they look like?
Breast pain while breastfeeding was one of the most common inconveniences my friends told me about when I was preparing to breastfeed. I've heard that breastfeeding isn't that easy, it can hurt at first. But I never imagined it could hurt SO.
The percentage of cesarean sections in Poland is currently (year 2017) 43%. No matter what the reasons are, we must not forget that a Caesarean section is a major surgery, and the scar after a Caesarean section is a souvenir that will stay with us for life. Today I will tell you how to take care of yourself and the scar of the emperor, to ensure the best recovery, fitness and the most beautiful cosmetic effect.
I was preparing for the first delivery and birth of the child in every possible way. I believe that good organization, knowledge and intuition is an ideal mix that brings us closer to success, minimizes the fear of the unknown and significantly increases our chances of success. That's why I was so surprised how difficult and not natural at all (at least for me) breastfeeding turned out to be.
I have prepared a film for you, in which I show step by step what I packed into my bag to the hospital for Mum as part of the layette for the newborn.
