Re: Natural pain relief for C section mama?
When I had a c-section, I was able to avoid narcotics and just took ibuprofen for about a week. It's important to rest and really avoid putting strain on the incision site. Heat probably would have helped too.
That being said, I naturally have a high pain tolerance. Everyone is different. A c-section is major surgery, and my nurses kept telling me that it's important to stay on top of pain relief because it's much easier to manage pain if you don't let it get agonizing.

Counseling is like cleaning out your fridge. Mostly it's rearranging things so they make more sense. Now and then you come across some really nasty thing that's been stuck in the back way too long.
