    Recovery after C-section

    Join Qiara's Nutritionist and Clinical Educator, Emma Park and Midwife and Mum Lydia Connolly from Partum Panties as they chat all things 'partum panties' and the best tips for preparation and recovery after C-section (whether it's planned or unplanned!), including tips to support breastfeeding. Lydia and Emma share their expertise, clinical and personal experience in this real and down to earth conversation.​  
     
    Lydia has always been very passionate about supporting women, especially as a Registered Midwife and mother to two beautiful girls.  While working in a busy tertiary hospital helping mums transition into motherhood, Lydia recognised one of the many challenges new mums face, is feeling comfortable with the right underwear. Women want to focus on their new baby and not have to worry about their heavy bleeding or the feeling of discomfort from bulky maternity pads and underwear. She decided it was time to find a better solution. Partum Panties offers pregnant and postpartum women comfort and convenience which aims to provide women with a product that allows for a greater postpartum recovery.
