The fountain in the picture is in the city of Nuremberg (Germany) and depicts the six Virtues: Faith, Hope, Charity, Courage, Temperance, and Patience, crowned by the figure of Justice.

Official WHO health guidelines recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a baby’s life. This means,…

How to care for the pelvic floor in case of C-section, tearing, or episiotomy

Comments 0 Comment

Birth scars, whether from a C-section, episiotomy, or tearing, can cause pain, discomfort, a feeling of tightness, urine or stool leaks, and lack of abdominal control. All these problems have a common cause: adhesions. Adhesions are tissue that prevent the different layers involved, whether in the genital or abdominal area, from moving freely when any movement is made.
