It’s C-section Awareness Month, so we just had to talk about it on the show! A c-section is one of the most common surgeries in the world, yet many women are sent home with very little guidance on how to truly recover.
If you’ve had a c-section and felt unsure how to heal your core, manage scar tissue, return to exercise, or feel connected to your body again… this episode is for you.
In this conversation, Dr. Des breaks down what c-section recovery actually involves, common symptoms many moms experience but rarely talk about, and the key steps that can help you rebuild strength, confidence, and function after birth.
Because being “cleared at 6 weeks” does not always mean fully healed.
In This Episode, We Explore:
What actually needs healing after a c-section
Common symptoms like pulling, numbness, shelfing, weakness, and back pain
Why scar tissue matters more than most women realize
Early recovery tips that support healing
How to safely rebuild core and pelvic floor strength
Why emotional recovery matters too
Why This Matters
C-section recovery deserves more than rest and vague instructions.
With the right support, women can improve strength, reduce discomfort, reconnect with their core, and return to movement feeling strong and empowered.
This is a major part of the work we do inside RESTORE and the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App, where women receive guided postpartum support that actually makes sense.
