“I think the Scar Care course is a great addition to the Recovery Course, and especially helpful if you are maybe slightly further along in your journey (i.e. home from hospital already and managing your scar). I’m really pleased to have discovered csectionUK and feel as prepared as I can be for something so major. The courses have really helped me feel reassured and able to ask questions which is invaluable.”
“I am currently a few weeks post C-Section and found the information in the C-Section Scar Mini Course really helpful, particularly about how to deal with cleaning the C-Section scar. The course was really helpful, thank you so much for what you do in supporting C-Section mamas!”
“I found this Mini Course course very informative. Thank you so much for sharing and educating on such a forgotten topic!”
