Walking into a doctor’s office can be a daunting experience. Whether it’s for a routine checkup or a specific concern, many people find themselves unsure of what to ask or how to respond to a diagnosis. As a biology pre-med major studying communications, I recognize the crucial role effective c

I now can say I have had the experience of delivering my babies both via C-section and “naturally” and let me just tell you the healing process and doctors orders are vastly different. 🫶🏼So let’s talk about it! 1️⃣ With my first it was an emergency c section so my clearance didn’t come for 8
