The 8 Best Ways To Navigate A C-Section Recovery, According To A Board-Certified OBGYN

Before my sister announced she was pregnant again, I kept thinking about the process of giving birth and recovery. It seemed like it was such an odd thing to fixate on given my strong stance on waiting to TTC (try to conceive) until my son turns 5, but I guess I could sense someone close to me was expecting.

And I wanted other moms to know what they can do to help themselves, too!
