Pain Management after a C Section or Child Birth
When
you're caring for your newborn baby, the last thing you want
to deal with is pain. But childbirth, whether by Cesarean
section or not, with or without drugs during labor, can leave
a women feeling somewhat less than fresh and lively. Most new
mothers feel dragged out, exhausted and sore for weeks after
delivery. But take heart; there are some things you can do to
minimize pain and soreness. |

1. Recovery takes time. In
a world where most people get 30 minute lunch breaks, you
may feel that you should be able to drop your baby in the
next door cubicle and make it back to work in time for the
afternoon management meeting. Don't let modern ideas about
time management ruin your recovery! Most women need to spend
at least a week after childbirth reclining gracefully on the
nearest couch. Expect another month of pretty serious
soreness: after all, pregnancy stretched and pulled your
body into a whole new shape, and labor was just the start of
your journey back to your original body. If you've had a |
|
| C section,
surgery such as episiotomy or any complications, expect at least
six weeks of having a tough time lifting things, getting out of
bed and climbing stairs. Take as much extra time off from work
as you can. 2. Rest. Some
people have forgotten what the word means. Rest doesn't just
mean staying home from work and having your partner bring home
pizza three nights a week. Resting also involves taking naps
when your baby is sleeping and spending time with your feet up,
not doing laundry or cleaning. Resting helps you heal, which is
the process by which pain will diminish and eventually
disappear.
3. Pain medication is an option. It's not a popular option,
though. You won't find a lot of information on pain management
after having a baby, even though it's one of the more painful
experiences a person can have. Make sure and ask your doctor
about pain medication that won't interfere with nursing if
you're breastfeeding your child. Most hospitals tell new moms to
take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain, but if you feel they
aren't doing the job, call your doctor for something stronger.
Don't be a martyr!
4. There are ways to reduce pain without drugs. Ice packs have
been recommended because they can reduce swelling, which causes
pain. Warm baths are helpful too, and you might try some Epsom
salts in the tub. Epsom salts are an old-fashioned but effective
method for soothing aches and pains, and will have the benefit
of not only calming painful, inflamed skin but also taking the
soreness out of muscles and joints. Other pain reducers include
the famous rubber donut some people sit on after childbirth or
surgery on the posterior. Because pregnancy and childbirth can
also bring on hemorrhoids, finding and using a good hemorrhoid
ointment may be helpful.
5. Research shows that people who feel happy, calm and loved
suffer less pain than those who are unhappy. If you can afford
it, or if your friends and family offer assistance, arrange to
have someone else do things around the house. Someone else
should do the laundry, dishes and dusting—the things that keep a
household running. A clean, restful environment will help you
relax and keep you from feeling stressed or guilty about not
doing housework. If you can arrange to have fresh flowers on
your table or happy music playing you to sleep, even better.
