"Is it too late for me to heal?"
It's the #1 question perinatal athletic therapist Janette Yee gets about C-section recovery.
In this episode, Janette and Shawna discuss the massive gaps in postpartum care, why the 6-week checkup fails so many moms, and the physical and emotional toll it takes.
If you've ever felt alone in your recovery or wondered if your "C-section shelf" is forever, this episode is a powerful reminder that healing is your right, and it's never too late.
TLFMTR (Too Long For Mom To Read):
The standard "6-week checkup" is often a massive failure in postpartum care, ignoring a mom's individual needs, lifestyle, and physical demands.
Inadequate postpartum care doesn't just impact the mother; it can have negative intergenerational impacts on the health of her children and grandchildren.
It is never too late to heal. Whether you are weeks, months, or decades postpartum, there are always steps you can take to improve your core strength, heal scar tissue, and feel at home in your body again.
Simple, practical tips (like hugging a pillow on the drive home from the hospital) can make a huge difference in recovery, but they are almost never taught by medical professionals.
Healing is about more than just the physical incision; it's also about processing the psychological and emotional impact of the birth experience and recovery.
In what ways have you been told (or told yourself) that you just have to "live with" a postpartum symptom, and how might you offer yourself the compassion to seek healing, no matter how much time has passed?
Remember, your body is an incredible healing machine, and you are not alone in this.
