C-Section Recovery Tips That Actually Help (From Moms Who’ve Been There) 💖
You just had major abdominal surgery — and they handed you a baby. Here’s how to actually recover, rest, and feel hugged during the hardest postpartum days.
🏥 Why C-Section Recovery Hits Different
C-section recovery is a full-body event: you’re healing from internal stitches, managing medication, bleeding, and trying to sit, stand, and breastfeed — all while functioning on zero sleep.
Whether your C-section was scheduled or a surprise, you deserve softness, support, and products that make healing feel less painful and more empowering.
💡 Your #1 Tool: The Right Pillow (That’s Not a Brick)
✨ Claire De Lune Cloud Technology Pillow
Made for new moms, by a mom who lived it:
After giving birth to twins by C-section, our founder designed the Cloud Pillow to hug, support, and mold without pressure.
- ✅ 16"x16" — hospital-bed safe
- ✅ Ultra-soft bamboo fabric (hypoallergenic & breathable)
- ✅ Moldable Cloud Technology fill (never crunchy)
- ✅ Fits behind your back, between your knees, or over your scar
- ✅ Interchangeable Cloud Cases for layering softness
🧠 Smart Recovery Tips from Real C-Section Moms
- Hug a pillow when you cough, sneeze, or laugh. This reduces pain and tension on your scar.
- Use your pillow to help get up from bed or chairs. Place it across your abdomen and push for leverage.
- Breastfeeding? Use the pillow to prop your baby and relieve strain on your arms or scar.
💤 You Deserve Sleep (Yes, Even in the Hospital)
The Cloud Pillow is **compact enough to fit on your hospital bed** without pushing off your IV or monitors. Many moms say they slept better with it than any hospital-issued pillow.
🩷 Bamboo = Recovery-Approved
The cover is made from buttery-soft, OEKO-TEX® certified bamboo viscose — meaning no harsh textures rubbing against your stitches. And when things (inevitably) get messy? The pillowcase is machine-washable, and extras can be layered for more softness or swapped out.
