C-section gas tips
Hi mamas! I had my baby over a month ago via c section & dealt with horribleeee gas pains after surgery. I finally figured out what helped and wanted to share here in case it may help someone. All the resources I found online are pretty vague and when you’re in crazy pain like I was, you need more.
- Stop drinking out of straws/water bottles with straws (creates air bubbles)
- Very gentle cat cow pose (this was a game changer)
- Propping feet up slightly when on toilet (I used yoga blocks)
- Warm prune juice
- Lots of movement no matter how small
- Peppermint tea (not too much though bc it can reduce milk supply)
- Hot water with lemon and ginger
- Avoiding dairy and refined carbs as much as possible
Hope it helps!!!
