Summary
This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast I did a solo episode talking all about C-section recovery!
As the basis for this episode, I was able to pull recovery tips that veteran C-section mamas dropped for me over on Instagram. I figured there is no one who can better speak to this better than the mamas that have gone through it first hand.
I start off the episode by talking about what veteran C-section mamas wish they had put in their C-section hospital bag. In fact, I pulled this info from an article I put together last year (read it here!) because you guys blew me away with the suggestions! There is so much good advice.

| 0:00.0 | This next mom said, I wish I had known that it is not failing your body and it is still birth. |
| 0:06.5 | Yes, girl, we agree with you. A C-section is just as much a birth as a vaginal delivery. |
| 0:13.1 | We totally agree with you and we agree with you so much that we put it on the sales page |
| 0:18.4 | as the very first line on our sales page. It says a C-section is birth. Yes, they are. It is not failing. |
| 0:30.0 | You are listening to the Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast where we firmly believe in the power of education |
| 0:37.0 | when it comes to giving birth. Tune in each week as we dive into pregnancy-related topics, |
| 0:42.0 | expert interviews, and a variety of birth stories. As a reminder, anything you hear on this |

| 1:02.0 | Hey guys, happy Monday. So this week we are talking all about C-sections. And if you guys |
| 1:07.5 | have been following me on Instagram, I've been talking about my C-section course that's coming |
| 1:11.6 | out this summer. We're super excited about it. Been working on it real hard. It's currently in |
| 1:17.4 | the editing phase right now, but it should be. Should be done real soon. So I wanted to do a whole |
| 1:23.4 | episode this week all about C-section recovery and tips from veteran C-section moms. |
| 1:31.2 | So I've put out Q&A boxes on my story before to get some tips from you guys, from my audience, |
| 1:38.3 | of moms who have had C-sections if they have some tips and tricks, what they recommend to have at |
| 1:43.6 | home and just some things that they weren't prepared for that they wish they had known. |
| 1:48.8 | So I went back through some of these question boxes and I wanted to just kind of candidly read |
| 1:55.8 | a bunch of these responses because I think there is a lot of value hearing tips and tricks from |
| 2:04.6 | people who have been through the same experience as you before. So I obviously am a nurse and I've |
| 2:11.8 | assisted with many C-sections in my time, but I've never actually had a C-section personally. |
| 2:19.4 | So I can't give you guys personal experience and personal advice on C-sections and how to |
