C-section Recovery with Amy Fergus-Fuller {S4E2}
Listen on:
Today on Raising Healthy Mothers I'm joined by Amy Fergus-Fuller to talk about her emergency C-section and journey to recovery, which ignited a passion to develop a C-section recovery programme, filling a gap she felt was being ignored by many working in the birth and postnatal world.
This a passionate discussion where she shared how women are being failed in being supported to fully recover after a C-section. In the conversation we talked cover:
How little education there is around C-sections and what they involve
The physical and emotional turmoil after having a C-section
What happens physically after a C-section
How to heal after a C-section, starting from the very beginning
What you can do if you've had a C-section years ago
There was so much we discussed in this episode, and so much more we didn't manage to cover. What I found really shocking is the extent to which the scar tissue can affect the reproductive organs, with major knock-on effects throughout life if it's not addressed. This feels like very important information for the 30% of women who have C-sections, planned or not.
Amy provides hope - she believes it's never too late to heal and recover after a C-section, even years later. She runs a thorough 3-phase programme which takes the healing step-by-step, covering physical, mental and emotional aspects. You can purchase the pre-recorded Phase 1 of the 4-Week Ab Rehab Course from her website: https://atozyoga.co.uk/events/ab-rehab-course/
