C Section Deliveries At All-Time High in US

April 23, 2010 by · 1 Comment 

C section deliveries now constitute a third of all birth in the US. This rising trend can also be seen in developing countries. Amnesty International have called the increase in cesarean sections a maternal health care crisis. The World Health Organization says that only 15% of c section births are actually necessary. Is the litigious nature of American society and doctors fear of lawsuits the reason for the extra 15%, or is it the profit driven model of US health care?

 

Or is it the expectant moms who want a c section to plan the birth date or for some other reason? Tell us what you think.

Our Belly Binder

April 3, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

This video demonstrates our postpartum Hem It In Belt. It can be worn immediately after vaginal birth or 2-3 weeks after cesarean birth. Wearing the binder helps your tummy shrink and protects your incision.

Using belly binding supports your organs to go back to their original size and location. Bladder, intestinal and reproductive complications can arise from a c-section or other abdominal surgeries. The support of binding means less tearing, which means less scar tissue, inside and out. Less scar tissue means more comfort and fewer secondary complications and a better looking scar.

With belly binding you can avoid the tearing and infections that lead to possible abdominal adhesions, painful periods, and a lumpy  c section scar.

Putting on the C Section Recovery Belt in the Hospital

We were very fortunate to have Maria to work with to make our videos, this is the day after her cesarean delivery. In this video, Christina puts the bikini belt on Maria and helps her out of bed for the first time. Just in case you are wondering Maria is not an actress, she is a regular working mom. This was not her first c section, but it was her first time wearing the belly binder belt, her face says it all!

Video of C-Section Delivery

December 12, 2009 by · Leave a Comment 

This is an animated depiction of a c-section delivery explaining the procedure. It’s useful as a visual piece of information. You can find many videos on youtube and elsewhere depicting actual c-section deliveries. Personally I think it is a private experience and I wonder if it was men on the table if there would be so many – but that’s just me. So you can see a video like that if you want to, but take a moment to think why you really want to – if you do. It’s hard for me to imagine how it will do you any good, visual imagery is very powerful, childbirth is kind of a vulnerable time. So please, be informed, know how to get the support you will need, but I suggest avoiding anything that will increase stress levels, especially if you know you will have a c-section delivery, or that there is even a chance of it.
