Are you considering a tummy tuck after delivery or a C-section? Wondering when the perfect moment is to embark on your transformational journey? Let's dive into evidence-based medicine and discover the ideal timing for this rejuvenating procedure:

✨ Post-Delivery: It's important to allow your body ample time to heal after childbirth. Most healthcare professionals recommend waiting at least 6-12 months after delivery before considering a tummy tuck. This period allows your body to recover, restore its natural shape, and stabilize hormone levels. Embrace the journey of motherhood and prioritize self-care during this precious time. 💖🌺

✨ Post-Cesarean Section (C-section): If you've undergone a C-section, patience is key. The recommended waiting period before pursuing a tummy tuck is usually around 6-12 months after the surgery. This timeframe allows for proper healing of the incision and ensures that your body is ready for the transformative procedure. Remember, your body has gone through an incredible journey, and giving it the time it needs is essential. 🌈💫

🌟 Evidence-Based Wisdom: Research suggests that waiting for an appropriate period after childbirth or C-section is crucial for optimal outcomes and safety. Giving your body time to heal reduces the risk of complications, improves surgical results, and enhances overall satisfaction with the procedure. Trust in the science and listen to your body's needs. 📚✨

Remember, every individual is unique, and it's essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in post-pregnancy tummy tucks. They will assess your specific situation, medical history, and individual needs to guide you towards the best decision. Your safety and satisfaction are paramount. 🌸💕

Embrace the transformative power of a tummy tuck, but also honor the miraculous journey your body has undertaken. Your beauty shines from within, and with patience and expert guidance, you can achieve the desired results. Love yourself, embrace your uniqueness, and embark on this journey with confidence! 💃🌟

The estrogen contained in combination hormone birth control pills and in the ring or patch is not recommended if you have a history of blood clots — venous thromboembolism (VTE) — or if you are at high risk of blood clots. A progestin-only form of contraception — such as the minipill or an implant — an IUD or a barrier method is a better choice. Progestin or progesterone also can increase the risk of blood clots, but the risk is less than with estrogen.

لا يُنصح بالتعرّض لهرمون الإستروجين الموجود في حبوب تنظيم النسل التي تحتوي على مجموعة مختلفة من الهرمونات أو في الحلقة أو اللصيقة الجلدية في حال كان لديكِ تاريخ مرضي من التعرض لجلطات الدم -الانصمام الخثاري الوريدي-، أو كنتِ عرضة بشكل كبير للإصابة بجلطات الدم. ويكون حينها من الأفضل استخدام وسائل منع الحمل التي تعتمد على البروجستين وحده -مثل الحبة الصغيرة أو تركيب لولب رحمي، أو وسيلة عازلة لمنع الحمل. ويُمكن أيضًا لهرمون البروجستين أو البروجستيرون زيادة خطر التعرض لجلطات الدم، غير أن نسبة الخطر أقل مقارنة بهرمون الإستروجين.

Cesarean delivery (C-section): Why it's done??

Health care providers might recommend a C-section if:

Labor isn't progressing normally. Labor that isn't progressing (labor dystocia) is one of the most common reasons for a C-section. Issues with labor progression include prolonged first stage (prolonged dilation or opening of the cervix) or prolonged second stage (prolonged time of pushing after complete cervical dilation).

The baby is in distress. Concern about changes in a baby's heartbeat might make a C-section the safest option.

The baby or babies are in an unusual position. A C-section is the safest way to deliver babies whose feet or buttocks enter the birth canal first (breech) or babies whose sides or shoulders come first (transverse).

You're carrying more than one baby. A C-section might be needed for women carrying twins, triplets or more. This is especially true if labor starts too early or the babies are not in a head-down position.

There's a problem with the placenta. If the placenta covers the opening of the cervix (placenta previa), a C-section is recommended for delivery.

Pr*****ed umbilical cord. A C-section might be recommended if a loop of umbilical cord slips through the cervix in front of the baby.

There's a health concern. A C-section might be recommended for women with certain health issues, such as a heart or brain condition.

There's a blockage. A large fibroid blocking the birth canal, a pelvic fracture or a baby who has a condition that can cause the head to be unusually large (severe hydrocephalus) might be reasons for a C-section.

You've had a previous C-section or other surgery on the uterus. Although it's often possible to have a vaginal birth after a C-section, a health care provider might recommend a repeat C-section.

Birth control pills may slightly increase your blood pressure. If you take birth control pills, have your blood pressure checked regularly. If you already have high blood pressure, talk with your doctor about whether you should consider another form of birth control.
قد تسبب حبوب تنظيم النسل زيادة طفيفة في ضغط الدم. فإذا كنتِ تتناولين حبوب تنظيم النسل، فلا بد من فحص ضغط الدم بانتظام. وإذا كان ضغط دمك مرتفعًا بالفعل، فتحدثي مع طبيبك عما إذا كان يجب التفكير في طريقة أخرى لتحديد النسل أم لا.

Birth control pills can affect your cholesterol levels. How much of an effect depends on the type of pill you're taking and what concentration of estrogen or progestin it contains. Birth control pills with more estrogen can have a slightly beneficial overall effect on your cholesterol levels. In general, though, the changes aren't significant and don't affect your overall health.
قد تؤثر حبوب تنظيم النسل على مستويات الكوليسترول لديكِ. ويتوقف مدى هذا التأثير على نوع الحبوب الذي تتناولينه وتركيز الإستروجين أو البروجستين الذي تحتوي عليه الحبوب. فحبوب تنظيم التي تحتوي على نسبة أكبر من الإستروجين قد يكون لها تأثير طفيف ومفيد على مستويات الكوليسترول بوجهٍ عام. وإجمالاً، فالتغيرات المحتملة الحدوث غير جسيمة ولا تؤثر على صحتكِ العامة.

Most data show that birth control pills don't increase your overall risk of cancer.

Scientific evidence suggests using birth control pills for longer periods of time increases your risk of some cancers, such as cervical cancer, but the risk declines after stopping use of birth control pills.

Regarding breast cancer risk, the results are mixed. Some studies show a link between birth control pill use and a slight increase in breast cancer risk, but the risk is very low. Other studies have shown no significant increase in breast cancer risk. Risk appears to decrease over time after discontinuing birth control pills. If you have a family history of breast cancer, birth control use does not appear to increase the risk.

The birth control pill may decrease your risk of other types of cancer, including ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer and colon cancer — and this benefit may persist for years after you stop the pill.

تُظهر أغلب البيانات أن حبوب تنظيم النسل لا تزيد من احتمالية إصابتكِ بالسرطان بصفة عامة.

وتشير الأدلة العلمية إلى أن تناول حبوب تنظيم النسل على مدار فترات زمنية أطول يُزيد من خطورة الإصابة ببعض أنواع السرطان، مثل سرطان عنق الرحم، غير أن مستوى الخطورة يتراجع بعد التوقف عن تناول هذه الحبوب.

أما بخصوص سرطان الثدي، فالنتائج متباينة. وترصد بعض الدراسات وجود ارتباط بين تناول حبوب تنظيم النسل وحدوث ارتفاع طفيف في خطر الإصابة بسرطان الثدي، غير أن مستوى الخطر منخفض جدًا، بينما تُشير دراسات أخرى إلى عدم وجود أي زيادة ملحوظة في خطر الإصابة بسرطان الثدي. وتبين تراجع مستوى الخطورة بمرور الوقت بعد التوقف عن تناول حبوب تنظيم النسل. وإذا كان لديكِ تاريخ عائلي من الإصابة بسرطان الثدي، فقد لا يؤدي تناول حبوب تنظيم النسل إلى زيادة خطر الإصابة.

كما قد تقلل حبوب تنظيم النسل من خطورة إصابتك بأنواع أخرى من السرطان، بما في ذلك سرطان المبيض، وسرطان بطانة الرحم، وسرطان القولون، وقد يستمر هذا التأثير المفيد لسنوات بعد التوقف عن تناول تلك الحبوب.

During pregnancy, the umbilical cord supplies nutrients and oxygen to your developing baby. After birth, the umbilical cord is no longer needed — so it's clamped and snipped. This leaves behind a short stump. Follow these tips to promote healing.

A baby's umbilical cord stump dries out and eventually falls off — usually within one to three weeks after birth. In the meantime, treat the area gently:

Keep the stump dry. Parents were once instructed to swab the stump with rubbing alcohol after every diaper change. Researchers now say this might kill bacteria that can help the cord dry and separate. Instead, expose the stump to air to help dry out the base. Keep the front of your baby's diaper folded down to avoid covering the stump.

Stick with sponge baths. While there's no harm in getting the stump wet, sponge baths might make it easier to keep the stump dry.

Let the stump fall off on its own. Resist the temptation to pull off the stump yourself.

During the healing process, it's typical to see a little blood near the stump. Much like a scab, the cord stump might bleed a little when it falls off.

However, contact your baby's health care provider if the umbilical area oozes pus, the surrounding skin becomes red and swollen, or the area develops a pink moist bump. These could be signs of an umbilical cord infection. Prompt treatment is needed to stop the infection from spreading.

Also, talk to your baby's health care provider if the stump still hasn't separated after three weeks. This might be a sign of an underlying problem, such as an infection or immune system disorder.

One of the most important steps you can take during pregnancy to make sure you and baby are getting the right nutrients and supplements is by taking a prenatal vitamin every day. A prenatal vitamin can't replace a nutritious diet, adequate health care and stress management, but it can help provide a balance of crucial nutrients to support your body and baby's development. It's important to remember that each person (pregnant or not) has slightly different nutritional needs based on genetics and any pre-existing health conditions. Always check with your OB/GYN about your specific needs for a prenatal.
