Meet Our Expert Speaker

Obstetrician & Gynecologist

Dr. Vicky

Dr. Vicky is a compassionate OB-GYN specializing in postpartum surgical recovery. She is dedicated to helping C-section mothers navigate their healing journey with confidence, providing expert medical advice on wound care, pain management, and safe mobility after surgery.

Workshop Highlights & Takeaways

Recovering from a major abdominal surgery while caring for a newborn is no easy feat. Here are some of the critical lessons we learned:

Wound Care & Scar Healing

We discussed how to properly clean the incision site, signs of infection to watch out for, and safe techniques for scar massage to prevent painful adhesions.

Safe Movement & Core Recovery

Dr. Vicky demonstrated the "log roll" technique for getting out of bed safely and explained when it's safe to start engaging the core and lifting heavy items again.

Breastfeeding After Surgery

We explored comfortable nursing positions (like the football hold) that keep pressure off the healing abdomen, ensuring a better experience for mom and baby.

What Moms Said

— Samantha Y.

"I was so worried about my C-section scar and when I could start exercising again. Dr. Vicky's advice was incredibly reassuring and practical. I feel so much more confident in my recovery now."
