When do c-sections occur, and what happens before, during, and after?

What is the experience like for the mother?

WHAT DO I NEED TO BE AWARE OF FOR C-SECTION RECOVERY?

Things no one tells you about c-section recovery

Tips for recovery and when to seek help

How to get out of bed (bet you never thought that was an article you'd be inspired to read, lol)

Remember, your mental health is absolutely a top priority for both you and your baby's safety.

If it feels too overwhelming to look for help, ask someone (your doctor, partner, friend, family) to find and schedule an appointment for you.

This is not a "burden" for them or something not to bother them with. This is important.
