Ever wondered what it really takes to recover from a C-section and regain your strength and confidence? Whether you're gearing up for your 1st or 4th C-section, we have some tips for you. In today's episode, I sit down with the incredible Liesel Teen, labor and delivery nurse and founder of Mommy Labor Nurse. C-section recovery can be more challenging than a vaginal delivery due to the major abdominal surgery involved. From essential prep tips to must-know post-delivery advice like using abdominal binders, taking it slow, and even a neat trick for tackling stairs—we cover it all. 
In today's episode, we explore: 
The importance of stocking up on extra help at home and preparing for the recovery period with the same diligence as prepping for the C-section itself
Tips for a methodical and gentle approach to significantly aid in your recovery process and prevent additional strain on your body
Ways to utilize medical support devices to support your healing process
Why recovery involves managing pain and preventing complications with medication
