Gas Problem After C Section-Causes and Remedies
Pregnancy is a tough time for moms not only because it's challenging physically and emotionally but it takes a lot out of them when delivering a baby. Be it through vaginal birth or C-section, gastric pain is something many mothers around the world can relate to. Here's what you need to know.
Is Having Gastric Problem After C Section Normal?
The general answer for this is yes. This is because when your abdominal region gets surgically cut up and stitched back, it causes pain and swelling. Your bowel movements cease to function temporarily for a week which leads to passing Effective Ways To Relieve Gas Pain After C Section
Possible Causes Of Getting Gas After C Section Delivery
Are your very gassy after C section? We've listed the most common ones that causes this below:
1. Diet
The food you eat and the choices in your diet will either improve or worsen your gastric pain. Foods that tend to make gastric problems worsen include dairy products, whole grains, prunes, Brussels sprouts, and carbonated beverages. No eating any high-fat items and foods which have high amounts of fibre are also good ideas.
2. Crohn's Disease
Women who have Crohn's disease or any similar digestive medical conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) will be more prone to cases of gastric pain. These conditions may heighten the sensations of pain and cause their gastric issues to worsen.
3. Infections
Infections of various sorts are also known to contribute to gastric pain. It is best to have a thorough medical evaluation to find out the underlying causes of gastric pain if they are tied to these. Infections may occur from vaginal discharge, nausea, and vomiting as well.
4. Episiotomy
Episiotomy is a special surgical procedure where a surgical incision is made between the vagina and anal opening for preventing cases of tearing. Sometimes this leads to gastric pain because of the pelvic floor muscles that get weakened due to this procedure.
5. Constipation
Constipation is a common cause of gastric pain after a C-section delivery. Usually, this leads to hard and lumpy stools followed by irregular bowel movements. The bloating and pain in the abdomen seem to contribute to the gastric pain. In addition, some medications make patients feel constipation while other cases of constipation stem from diet and lifestyle choices.
6. Pelvic Floor Injuries
If you've had trauma to the pelvic floor muscles or any injuries there, it leads to the weakening and losing control over your gas. That causes gastric issues since you also lose control of your bowel movements in the process.
Home Remedies To Get Relief From Gas Pain After C Section
Looking for home remedies on how to relieve gas after C section? Try these out.
1. Drink More Water
Staying hydrated will help your bowels move regularly, prevent constipation, and also clear up the gas.
2. Don't Smoke or Drink
Smoking and drinking alcohol makes gastric pain worsen. So don't do it.
3. Change Your Diet
Add green veggies and fruits to your diet and reduce the fat intake. If your stools are too hard, you may ask your doctor to give you a prescription stool softener like Colace.
4. Don't Use A Straw
Drinking from a straw can cause more air bubbles to form in your stomach and worsen your gastric woes. So don't drink from one. Also, avoid carbonated beverages and make sure to chew your food thoroughly so that it gets digested well.
5. Rocking in a Chair
No, we're not kidding. Rocking in a chair will help stimulate your bowels or at least help them eliminate the gas. You need to rock in a reclined chair though for that to work.
6. Move Often
Going for a walk is the best way to eliminate gas problems after C section. IF you're too lazy or don't feel like going for frequent walks, at least move often. This could be as simple as changing your position throughout the day and not lying down on the floor or bed too often.
Exercises to Help You Get Rid of Gas After C Section
Here are a few exercises you can do to relieve or even eliminate gas pains 3 weeks after C section:
1. Pelvic Floor Exercises
Any range of exercises which strengthen and target your pelvic floor muscles will work towards reducing your gastric problems.
2. Abdominal Exercises
Abdominal exercises are also known to lessen gastric problems after a C-section. A good exercise is to lie down on your side and bend your knees a little. Breathe in slowly using your abdomen and hold you abdominal and pelvic floor muscles both for 10 seconds. Release, breathe out, and repeat this technique to up to 10 times every day.
3. Knee-Lifts
Knee lifts are a good exercise for relieving or eliminating gastric pain. Start off by lifting your knee up a little and working your way up to your chest level. This will help break down the case. You can do knee lifts while lying down on the floor too.
4. Cat Pose
Yoga poses are fantastic for eliminating constipation, bloating, and gastric problems in pregnant women. One of our favourite poses that just works and gives results is the cat pose. It doesn't hurt your wound and gently lifts your stomach out, helping you stretch out their layer of gas apart and giving you adequate relief. It's perfect for fixing your gas problem after cesarean delivery.
5. Shoulder Rolls
If the gas is affecting your shoulders and travelling all the way up, just try a couple of shoulder rolls. Back and forth. Take your time with this and be gentle. It helps.
Gastric problems after C-section are really common in women but the good news is that they are completely treatable and just a temporary phase. Do these exercise, try out the home remedies, and lead a healthier lifestyle. That way, you'll be getting the relief you want and the pain will also go away eventually.

Weaning Your Bundle of Joy - Supplement His Diet With These Superfoods!
Congratulations! You have officially begun your child's food journey and are about to influence her food choices for life. Lay down a strong foundation of nutrition which will help her reach the point of satiety as well as help her discover diverse tastes and gain optimum weight in correspondence to her age.
The joy of watching your child gulp down her first pureed/mashed food feels truly amazing. It is an achievement for both the mother and child to take the next step after breastmilk/formula milk to real foods.
However, remember that breastmilk and formula milk must be spaced out well between mealtimes. Make the most of the day and feed your child a variety of foods. These are some ideas which worked well for me:
1. Wheat Seera
In a cooking utensil, add two to three tablespoons of ghee and let it melt down. Add about 1-2 teaspoons of atta and keep roasting it until it has a nice brown colour. Add some boiled water to get the desired consistency. Try to keep it a bit thick so your baby gets to enjoy the taste. Feed immediately.
Pro Tip - There is no need to add salt/sugar or any other flavours to your child's diet until her first birthday.
2. Apple Juice
This one is very simple to make. Just grate a quarter or half of an apple. Use a clean cloth to squeeze the grated apple and find the sweetest juice accumulated in a bowl. Feed right away.
Pro Tip - Include all kinds of fruits and vegetables to your baby's diet. But make sure to repeat the same kind of food for some days before switching to another. The reason is to check and rule out any allergies if they occur.
3. Mashed Potat
This one will be loved by your little one. Just roast the potato in pure ghee and watch the pleasure unfolding in every bite.
4. Mashed Sweet Potato
Filled with antioxidants and vitamins, this will prove to be a great in-between snack for your infant. Just boil it and mash it with a spoon and do allow your baby a few sips of water in between owing to its dry texture.
5. Moong Dal and Rice Combined with Carrot/French Bean/Beetroot/Potato/Tomato/Palak
Make this healthy dal combination a staple diet for your child. You can pick and choose the vegetable depending on how recently you bought them and feed it to your baby on a daily basis. This makes for a great big nutritious meal for your child.
Pro Tip - Associate meal times with bonding over stories, songs, life lessons, and nursery rhymes. This will not only strengthen your bond with your little one but also impart great lessons from an early age.
Wish you the best!

DIY Origami Jumping Frogs
Ribbit ribbit! Frogs are such adorable and cool creatures. Introduce your child to these fun jumping frogs!
These cute little jumping frogs will keep your little one engaged for a long time – and they're not dangerous either! This might even encourage your kid to take an interest in nature and the various fascinating creatures found in it.
What you’ll need
A square piece of Origami paper
Googly eyes (optional)
Step by step instructions
1. Take the square sheet of Origami paper and fold and unfold it diagonally (both diagonals) to form creases
2. Fold and unfold the paper in half horizontally to form creases. Make sure that the creases of the folds meet at the center of the paper
3. Using the ends of the center fold, push in the sides so that the paper folds into a triangle with four points - two on each side
4. Fold two of the four points towards the top of the triangle so that it forms a diamond in the middle of the triangle
5. Fold the bottom corners of the diamond inward and crease it
6. Fold the top corners of the diamond outwards and line it with the botton edge of the diamond to form the frog's legs. (The end result should look similar to a paper airplane on a triangle)
7. Flip the paper over to start working on the top part of the frog
8. Fold the two corners of the triangle towards the center of the triangle to form a diamond shape
9. Fold the inner edges outwards in a way that the edges line up with the ends of the paper
10. With the long back legs facing you fold the paper in half where the frog is narrowest and crease it
11. With the frog still folded, flip the frog over again
12. Leaving a little space, create another fold near the crease to make the legs face backward and crease it
13. Flip it over and your jumping frog is ready!
14. You can stick googly eyes if you wish.
15. To make the frog jump - just press and release the back of the frog!

3. Guilt

9. Fatigue
[caption id="attachment_193486" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Source: GIPHY[/caption]
It was supposed to be your day of rest and relaxation. But what with the fun and games, the special meals, the family gathering, and the constant chatter around the house, all you can now feel is exhaustion! You long to hit the sack and call it a day.
10. Love
