Hi, thanks to all the advice on here over the past few months I have a much better image of what to do to look after myself post section than last time. I have tea tree oil for the wound and arnica tablets. Got a few more questions though.
How can I keep my spirits up in hospital for 4 days, I'm worried I'll get the blues badly again.
I can't stand tea, but have heard that peppermint tea is good for the bottom gas post delivery. Is there an alternative, do mints work on their own or some other type of peppermint that is not tea?.
Any advice on getting wound healed with a huge overhang I know about airing it more regularly but obviously that's not too compatible with sitting on the sofa feeding a newborn for so many hours a day.
Anything anyone can say to cheer me up? I'm feeling really low about the section coming up
Thanks for your help girls!
