✨ Best C-Section Mum Tip Ever: Clexane Injections Made Easier!
💡 Best C-Section Mum Tip Ever!
If you’ve recently had your baby and your doctor has prescribed Clexane injections for 10 days post-birth, you might already be dreading them. These little jabs are important for reducing the risk of blood clots, but let’s be honest — they can sting and often leave bruises.
Here’s a simple tip that many mums swear by: use an ice cube to numb the area before your injection.
Just hold an ice cube (wrapped in a clean cloth) against your skin, around 5 cm from your belly button for about 30–60 seconds before giving the injection. The cold numbs the area, which helps:
✅ Reduce pain when the needle goes in
✅ Minimise bruising afterwards
✅ Make the whole experience less stressful
It’s such a small change, but it can make a huge difference to your recovery routine. So if you’re feeling nervous about those daily injections, give the ice cube hack a try — you’ll thank yourself later!
