Oral Syringes and Eye Droppers. Oral syringes or eye droppers can be used to directly administer medications orally, or can be used for accurate measuring and mixing. Oral syringes come in a variety of sizes, and some include special stoppers to make them easier to use.
Moms who have had a cesarean lose more blood than moms who deliver vaginally. As a result, extreme exhaustion from anemia is common. In addition, air often is trapped inside the body during abdominal surgery. This can cause a form of transferred gas painâleading to incredible shoulder pain.
Scar tissue on the uterus and nearby organs. Bands of scar-like tissue (adhesions) develop after each abdominal surgery, though the extent of their formation after a C-section varies. Dense adhesions can make a C-section more difficult, prolonging the time to delivery. Bladder and bowel injuries. Bladder injuries, which are possible but uncommon with initial C-sections, are more likely with repeat C-sections. The increased risk is likely due to adhesions that developed after a previous C-section, binding the bladder to the uterus. Adhesions can also cause small bowel obstruction.
