Fat vs Lymphatic Fluid? The Long Road of C-Section Recovery #postpartum#lymphedema#lymphaticdrainage

I’ve met so many other C-section moms that have shared the same struggles! And the worst part is we often do it alone, unaware that our lymphatic systems have been damaged. As if there weren’t enough unreasonable expectations for new mums, add stagnant lymphatic fluid into the mix and you’ll be feeling even more frustrated with your physical recovery.

Some people won’t experience the lingering swelling the way that I did. But many do. Because I have lymphedema, the swelling was exponential and very hard to control for several months.

Keep in mind that some of the softness you notice around your new body may not be fat. It may be stagnant, lymphatic fluid. And remember: the goal isn’t to “Bounce Back”—that’s outdated and unrealistic. The goal is to understand exactly what’s going on within your own body. And if you want to do something about it, you’ll have more knowledge on how to approach it.

RECOVERY TIP: I always recommend seeing a traditional lymphatic massage specialist, but _not_ those new Brazilian-style lymphatic drainage massages that are currently trending.
