C-Section Recovery & Cesarean Birth Advice, Tips and Support

Today I’d like to welcome Christina Hemming of Maui Healing Kits.

Christina is not only the owner of Maui Healing kits,  she is also a c-section mom herself.  In fact that’s how she came to develop her Abdomend™ products and healing kit.  Products designed especially for c-section recovery moms.

I’ve admired Christina and her support for women recovering from a c-section for a few years now.   In fact I’ve been so impressed with Christina’s outstanding products and her quality service that I asked her if she’d do a guest interview for us this week.    Of course she was happy to be our guest and today I’m thrilled to help you get to know her and her products better.

Christina Hemming at the 2010  Golden Globes Boom Boom Room conference demonstrating her Abdomend C-Section Recovery Kit.   How fun … go Christina!

Just a few days ago my sister had her kidney removed and I’ve taken a few days to help her out at home.  Of course I’m not familiar at all with kidney recovery as I am with c-section recovery, but there are plenty of similarities when it comes to caring for someone at home and their recovery after surgery.

For one thing, there’s a lot of pain so getting the right medications, doses and schedules is important.

My sister didn’t tolerate the initial medications she was sent home with so we had to revert to other medications that worked better.  This made the first few days pretty tough.   Read more »
