Caesarean Section - Recover with a Wedge Pillow

By Sarah Mason


After undergoing surgical treatment, a bed wedge pillow is normally recommended by doctors to help in the restorative healing process. It also positions you in the most comfortable position possible in times of an unpleasant time period. Any of these are generally acceptable to aide in your rehabilitation. Right after most surgical procedures, you will be told to elevate the portion of the body that has been operated on. This will help to decrease swelling, reduces pressure in the tissue and also permits ideal blood circulation. Even if your foot, thighs and leg or upper section of the body, including your face, a bed wedge will keep you appropriately and pleasantly elevated.

Here is a summary of a few typical surgery procedures that a bed wedge pillow can be used to recover from;

-Breast augmentation -Breast minimization -Breast lift -Face lift -Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) -Heart valve replacement -Knee and leg surgery -Caesarean section (C section) -Liposuction -Nose operation

These are only a few examples however almost every single surgery recovery tends to be uncomfortable and requires elevation to allow for a speedy and healthy recovery.

Will it be really worth the expense? It will more than likely never ever get used again, right?

Wrong. You can expect to most definitely use it over and over, even if you have healed! It will be worth the investment.

They usually range between about $30 - $180 depending on features and materials so it may be a bit expensive but you should realize that even though you have recovered, a bed wedge pillow is useful every day, even if you don't currently suffer from any soreness. In fact, a bed wedge pillow may help prevent back, throat and shoulder pain that may slowly develop over time due to poor posture while lying down.

Consider reading, working on a notebook computer or watching Television in bed - a wedge naturally and securely elevates your body and positions the head comfortably. Most of us just stack up a few pillows, however this merely props you up and unnaturally bends your back about midway up and also leaves your neck either bowed forward or being supported by your muscle groups causing tension and pain. A wedge pillow truly is a sensible investment and is not going to go unused even though it has served its intended use.
