Coming to the world is not an easy task, neither for the baby nor for her mom. If everything goes well, there will be a natural birth, but sometimes, for different reasons, our baby will have to be born by cesarean, sometimes it will be programmed, sometimes it will not, but in both cases, it will be good to know that Reflexology can make our recovery faster emotionally and physically after this surgical intervention.

The state of mind of the mother after the caesarean

After a cesarean section it is usual for negative feelings to appear, this is due to several reasons: the hormones that made you feel good in pregnancy and helped your body to have a wonderful baby, they arrive at its highest levels at the time of giving birth, but will not be slow to descend very quickly, generating, among others, important emotional consequences. In addition, it is frustrating to know at the last moment of pregnancy or at the moment of delivery, after long hours of waiting, that it may not be delivery as you had imagined. Therefore, impotence, fear, and frustration mixed with pain, fatigue, anguish and bad mood, will be the usual cocktail that we will most certainly meet after a cesarean section.

Physical recovery of the mother after the cesarean

The pain will accompany us for a long period of time, because the incisions that were made in the uterus as in the pelvic and abdominal muscles have to be closed, in addition to shrinking and contracting and returning to its normal size and shape. There will be pain around the wound and sharp pain in the affected abdominal organs during surgery, producing limited mobility for a time.

But nature is what it is, and we are new moms, with a strong maternal feeling and we need to feed and care for our baby. Our limited mobility will not allow us to do it as we would like, and not being able to attend to our little ones ourselves will generate a stressful picture that will inevitably make recovery more difficult.

Without a doubt, cesarean section is not the most pleasant thing to welcome our baby, but sometimes it is necessary for the wellbeing of both, so, after an inevitable cesarean, I advise you to call a good expert in Reflexology to relieve all the symptoms described above.
