2.12 C-Section Days 2-3: The Soreness Sets In
from Empowered Postpartum Wellness Audiobook Podcast Experience Hosted by Jade Padlan, RN & Family Health Coach
You made it through the first 24 hours, and now the soreness truly settles in. Moving in and out of bed feels like an Olympic event, laughing and coughing come with a sting, and your body is reminding you that, yes, you just had major abdominal surgery while also becoming someone’s mama. In this episode, Jade walks you through what to expect during days 2-3 of C-section recovery, from the physical soreness to the emotional waves that often begin to surface. You’ll learn how to care for your body with gentleness, manage incision discomfort, and use breathwork and small movements to support circulation, recovery, and even milk supply. Action Step: Try pairing a 360° breath with skin-to-skin today. One hand on your baby, one hand on your ribs, let your breath anchor you both in safety, healing, and connection.
