How should I sit after a normal delivery or a C-section? And how should I sit if I have stitches because of an episiotomy or because I teared? In this video, Nathalie Kaufmann, Pregnancy and Birth Consultant and TCM Therapist, and Mathias Ritter, Researcher and Science Geek, give you the answer.
First, they explain how to sit after giving birth to a baby in a normal delivery, particularly if you suffer from perineal pain, for example, because you had an episiotomy or because you have a first or second degree tear.
To be precise, they explain what you need to look out for when you sit and which sitting positions to avoid in order to decrease the pressure on your perineum.
Next, they discuss the best sitting position after giving birth when you end up with a third or fourth degree tear. And they also explain why it can be a good idea to frequently change the position.
Then they also explain what is the best sitting position after a C-section. And, very important: they also explain how to get up from a lying position into a sitting position after a C-section.
And then, at the end of their video, they introduce an alternative position that – according to one study – many women preferred after giving birth to their baby, particularly when they suffered from perineal pain.
