Help equip you to understand the why, when, how, and what happens to you and your body during and following Caesarean section surgery.

Information and tools to help navigate and journal what can be an overwhelming time.

JUST IMAGINE IF....
- you knew exactly what to do for a full recovery
- you were able to recover while at the same time really enjoy your precious new baby
- you have the knowledge to take care of your wound to best promote healing.
- you could feel calm, strong and confident as you move through the six-week recovery period.
The risks and signs of potential complications such as
infection, blood clots, wound breakdown and depression and anxiety
are not always discussed before leaving the hospital.
YOU MIGHT BE FEELING...
Let down because your birth classes focused on natural birth and baby care with little or no access to caesarean specific antenatal education. Now you've been discharged from the hospital with minimal guidance for the six-week recovery period.

Nurse, Midwife, Author, Educator, Wife and Mother of 6
I know first-hand the struggle women go through in the early weeks after birth, as all 6 of my children were born by caesarian.
Even though I had my nursing and midwifery background to draw on I really struggled to cope with my baby and my body after my C-section. Seeing so many struggle like I did inspired me to create resources to help women and their partners fastrack their recovery, avoid complications so they can get back to exercise and pre-pregnant activity levels.

As a nurse & midwife, I've worked with women for over four decades after birth in hospitals and as a health visitor at home. I've seen the struggles women have and the lack of vital knowledge for their recovery.
Our aim is to answer your questions and concerns during your postpartum period and to help you understand the why, when, and how to manage your recovery period.

“I have had x 4 C-Sections and the information in this wonderful book would have been just so helpful at the time.
Leonie is so thorough and I can’t think of an area she doesn’t cover. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is pregnant or even to buy as a gift for expecting mothers. ”

"The eBook from Caesarcare was really helpful after I had my twins by C-section. The chapter on post-op recovery gave me some great tips for managing my pain and supporting my stitches. It was good to read about the early weeks at home also."

"This was such a helpful resource for my daughter anticipating her caesarean birth. She found the tips for planning for hospital and returning home so helpful. It was such an asset in approaching surgery as it was important information given in a calming and supportive way. It helped her understand what to expect and helped her to formulate questions for her doctor. She also used the splint during her recovery and found it very helpful at a time when she was having to hold her baby for long periods. This is an excellent resource for anyone anticipating a caesarian and is highly recommended."

For many women, childbirth education specific to caesarean birth is either negligible or non-existent currently, leaving the larger portion of birthing women underserved.
The C-section Recovery Manual attempts to bridge the gap with:
* Twelve chapters of guidance from preparation to six weeks post-surgery and beyond.
* Wholeperson health and well being is discussed exploring the impact on physical, mental & spiritual dimensions.
* The book is written in three parts, part one discussion, part two six weeks of daily planners and part three journal pages.
The manual will be available in hardcopy and on kindle.
