101. Are You Going to Have a Repeat C-section? This Episode Has Everything You Need to KNOW

For this episode of Expecting and Empowered, Amy and Krystle are together to dive into healing as a mama of multiple c-sections. With two (or more) little ones to care for, potential for increased scar tissue, and necessary modifications needed after surgery, the sisters explain why every C-section deserves its own thoughtful recovery plan. They walk us through the most important priority—respecting the healing timeline—and stress that new parents do not need to “do it all” while their body is repairing.Amy and Krystle highlight practical, evidence-based guidance for the first weeks after surgery, and give a clear, week-by-week outline of what to expect during recovery while utilizing movement modifications to maximize healing. The episode also dives into breathing the right way—a detailed guide to practice it, and why it’s a cornerstone of effective healing after a cesarean. Amy and Krystle explain when and why C-section scar mobilization can be helpful to build a healthy postpartum foundation. With so many women being c-section mamas, it’s important to the Expecting and Empowered team to bring you helpful, whole-body, tips and strategies to help you feel empowered through your healing, whether your c-section was 1 day ago or 10 years ago!If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us @expectingandempowered.
