#Softeners

Here are all the tips I can remember from my 3 C-sections that have helped me through these major surgeries. Pre-operation prep: - purchase and pack belly binder, a belly hot/cold band from Frida mom, and boy short brief disposable underwear from Frida mom as well - if you have other children, get help if you can for at least the first 3-4 weeks - throughout your last trimester prioritize deep core and pelvic floor exercises - walk as much as you can throughout your pregnancy - pack gum and stool softener - get a bassinet that comes up right next to your bed -get (or do your own) blow out if you can - it honestly made a difference in how I felt - have a GOOD meal 8 hours prior, you won’t eat for a good 16-20 hours Post operation (in the hospital): -chew gum in the recovery room to wake up your digestion to prevent excess gas - move SLOWLY as soon as they let you, this helps majorly in recovery -hydrate and use stool softeners to help ease the pain of the first 💩 and gas -move as much as you can for the gas pain, if you have gas build up you may experience shoulder tip pain. Rick sway and move to get it out Post operation (at home): - accept help as much as you can - now is not the time to be brave or push your limits. -REST! Stay in bed as much as you can for at least the first week. Get up to walk around your room at regular intervals to aid in healing -stay on top of your meds - set alarms if you need! -compression is your best friend for when getting up, moving around, coughing or sneezing. Press a pillow against your incision or use a belly band -use high waisted everything to avoid rubbing against the incision -eat nutrient rich meals and snacks -stay hydrated and block out all possible sources of negativity as you heal and bond with baby -journal your thoughts and feelings. This time can feel isolating so make sure you try to call or text one friend/family member per day -be proud of what you’ve accomplished you are no less a mother because of the way your baby came into the world. You are so strong ❤️‍🩹 C-section moms, is there any tips I missed? Feel free to ask questions #csectionrecovery #csectionmom #csection #cesareanbirth

do you strip your textiles? 🧺 think of stripping your clothes as like the exfoliator for your laundry 🫧 It removes oils, detergents, minerals, and softeners that build up over time, which are responsible for that musty smell that clings to some fabrics, even after washing. Since Sonny has taken over our bed, I figured it was a good idea to strip our duvet cover. I’ve seen videos where people do this to their couch cushions and omg the water after…. 🤢 I can’t help but think of all the folks who donate (or god forbid throw out) their blankets, towels, or other textiles when all they needed was a good stripping! Here’s to more taking care of what we have! 💚💚 #laundry #cleaning #ecofriendlycleaning #sustainableliving #sustainability

STOP 🛑 using stool softeners - do THIS instead! The 4 tips I’m sharing here are what I teach my patients on the regular to help them stay regular 😉 Did you know that 1 in 4 adults suffers from constipation? 🤯 Constipation is defined as having less than three 💩 per week. And most people are trying to address these issues with OTC stool softeners. Unfortunately, using these regularly makes poop issues worse and doesn’t get the root cause…Because constipation is a symptom NOT a diagnosis. So if you want to get rid of constipation for good, ditch the stool softeners (or wean gradually if you’ve been a long time user) so you can figure out what your body actually needs: ❓more fiber 🍎 ❓more hydration 💦 ❓better hip flexibility 🍑 ❓better pelvic floor flexibility 💪🏼 Most people need a combo of ALL of these! 🚽 What else would you add? What helps you stay regular?

Stop Using Fabric Softeners Now 🚫

Did you know fabric softener can leave behind a stubborn residue in your washer? Over time, this build-up can trap bacteria, cause unpleasant odors, and even affect how clean your clothes get! 🧺 The waxy ingredients in fabric softeners don’t always dissolve completely, leading to grime in places you can’t see. Is it time to rethink your laundry routine? Happy Cleaning 🧺🏠 Have you noticed residue or strange smells in your washer?

When you’re in an environment where you’re lacking confidence (usually the workplace) it’s really easy to slip into communication patterns that can erode or undermine your credibility if consistently repeated. ⁣ ⁣ One of these is using softeners like “I think… or “I don’t know” before or after a sentence. ⁣ ⁣ The effect of these softeners (if used repeatedly) is that you may unintentionally undersell what you are contributing, which doesn’t help when it comes to perceived credibility.⁣ ⁣ You can be unsure about something and still contribute an idea, a thought or a question in a way that conveys confidence in who you are as a person. ⁣ ⁣ And that comes down to your choice of language. ⁣ ⁣ If you tend to frequently default to “I think”, or “I don’t know…” or any other ‘filler’ (e.g. “just”, “like”, “perhaps”), try swapping it for something else.⁣ ⁣ “I believe…” or “My perspective is…” are great fallbacks.⁣ ⁣ Other alternatives include:⁣ My view is… ⁣ My take on it is… ⁣ My opinion is… ⁣ It seems to me that… ⁣ It appears that… ⁣ The way I see things is that…⁣ ⁣ This is a great tip for whenever you might be presenting and you’re asked a question, or even during interviews or panel discussions.⁣ A simple yet impactful tweak to your language can have a really significant impact to how you’re perceived (not to mention how you feel!).⁣ ⁣ Have you ever used something like this? How did it feel? 👇⁣⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #confidence #confidentcommunication #communication #confident #language #languagetips #languagetools #careertips #careerconfidnece #leadershiplanguage #leadership #leadershipcommunication #emotionalintelligence #careeradvice #jobinterivew #interview #presentation #presentationskills #publicspeaking #influence #influencetechniques
