Have you planned and prepared for your postpartum recovery?
Every woman will go through a period of postpartum recovery, regardless of the type of birth she has, yet postpartum recovery is still a topic that doesn’t often come up in conversation. We are on a mission to get more women taking their postpartum recovery seriously – you won’t find anything for babies here!
Did you know, it is estimated that up to 90% of first time mothers who have a vaginal birth will experience some sort of graze, tear or episiotomy? Most of these tears are small and will heal quickly, but even the smallest graze will still be sore.
Unfortunately, postpartum care is still too often overlooked and should be considered a ‘must’, not a luxury. Before buying another cute baby outfit (that will probably only be worn twice), consider purchasing a little something that you will truly value in your moments of need, (or a very thoughtful gift for a mum to be). Thankfully there is an ever growing range of products to help you recover quicker and easier, there is no need to struggle with postnatal discomfort unnecessarily.
Take look at some of our award winning products specifically designed to help with your postpartum, postnatal, post-birth or whatever you prefer to call it, recovery. Whether you’re planning a hands-off home birth or a consultant led delivery in the hospital, we have something for you. You probably won’t even know some of the products exist. The latest additions to the range are the fantastic Witch Hazel Pads and Silicone Scar Patches for c-section wounds.
