Gauhar Khan suffered from miscarriage
In the first episode of her YouTube podcast Maaanoranjan, Gauahar Khan shared that she had a miscarriage before the birth of her son Zehaan. The actor revealed that she lost her pregnancy in nearly nine weeks, describing it as an incredibly difficult experience. “There’s one thing I’ve never told everyone. I had a miscarriage before Zehaan. It’s impossible to explain how I felt. I was pregnant and lost my baby almost nine weeks later,” she said. Gauahar also states that she has a C-section stream and plans to open more about these personal experiences in future podcast episodes.
Gauahar Khan calls out myths around the C section
Gauahar Khan also used her podcast to talk about the common misconceptions surrounding Caesarean section. She addressed the broad belief that C-sections are “easier” or “comfortable” options compared to natural births.
Gauhar expressed his disappointment in response to a recent statement made by actor Sniel Shetty, who praised his daughter Atya Shetty for choosing natural delivery in the C-section. Do you want to say, “What? I scream at the top of my voice and how can I say it?” ” she said emotionally. “There are so many myths on this topic. If someone has a C section, that’s an easier option. Why is there such a misinformation?
Due to her non-difference, Shetty said Atiya chose not to choose “comfort” in the C section.
What is C-section delivery?
A C-section or caesarean section is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through an incision made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. A recent study by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that Caesarean section rates have steadily increased worldwide, and now account for more than one in five (21 percent) of all births. It may be carried out as an emergency during work if it is pre-planned for medical reasons, natural delivery is not possible, or there are many issues involved. There is a misconception that this is an easy option compared to natural delivery. However, C-sections usually have longer recovery periods and are more physically demanding than vaginal birth.
Tips for recovering after C section
Recovery from C-section delivery can take up to 6-8 weeks. Your body needs time and care to heal from surgery, so it is important to follow these recovery tips slowly.
- Get plenty of rest and soothe your body time.
- Do not use stairs frequently in the early days.
- Do not lift heavy objects. It can be at risk to the body.
- When you sneeze or cough, gently hold the abdomen to protect the incision.
- Avoid sex or use tampons until your doctor moves on to you.
- Skip any post-C-section training or strenuous exercise until you are completely healed.
- Eat healthy and nutritious foods to support your recovery and provide nutrition to your baby.
- Drink plenty of water to help with hydration and healing.
- Take your prescribed medication on time to manage pain and prevent infection.
- Be prepared for postpartum changes such as vaginal dryness, hair loss, swelling of the breast, cramps, night sweats, and skin problems.
Additionally, do not skip postpartum testing.
