Article: Many medications are not safe for nursing mothers to use because they may pass through your breastmilk to the baby. Talk to your doctor about safe medication options to help you manage your pain after an episiotomy. Paracetamol is often prescribed for breastfeeding mothers who require pain medication after an episiotomy. The perineum is the area between the vagina and anus where the episiotomy was made. You can use an ice pack to help reduce swelling and ease the pain. Wrap an ice pack in a towel and place it between your legs while you are lying in bed or reclining in a chair. Make sure that you do not leave the ice pack on for more than 15 minutes at a time. Take it off now and then to prevent your skin from getting too cold. Tightening your buttocks as you sit down will help to pull the tissue together in the perineum, which will help to prevent it from stretching and pulling at your stitches. You may also find that sitting on a pillow or inflated ring will reduce the pressure and pain in your perineum. Depending on your situation, your doctor may recommend that you take a daily sitz bath. Sitz baths can help to reduce the pain, swelling, and bruising around the wound area.  Fill a bathtub with warm or cool water. Warm water increases the circulation and may feel good, but cool water can decrease the pain a bit faster. Sit in the bath for up to 20 minutes. Urination can cause stinging and pain in your wound area. Any urine that runs over your wound may also introduce bacteria into your wound. To reduce discomfort and keep your stitches clean, pour water over the area using a squeeze bottle or water bottle as you are urinating. After you have finished going to the bathroom, squeeze a little more water over the area to clean it off. Bowel movements can be a challenge after an episiotomy. To provide support during a bowel movement, press a fresh sanitary pad against your perineum and hold it there while you go. Doing so should help to reduce your pain and discomfort. Make sure that you discard the pad after you have finished and use a new one every time you have to go. Constipation will increase the pressure against the perineum during a bowel movement. This increased pressure will lead to increased discomfort and stretching of the incision line. To reduce your chances of becoming constipated, make sure that you drink plenty of water, eat fiber rich foods, and get some mild exercise during the day.  Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day if you are bottle feeding and a few extra if you are breastfeeding. Try not to get compulsive about drinking water because over hydrating can cut your milk supply. Just don’t allow yourself to be thirsty during the day. Eat foods that are fiber rich. Fiber rich foods will help loosen your stool and make it easier to have a bowel movement. Fruits and vegetables are good sources of fiber. Get some mild exercise during the day. Exercise helps your colon move food along. Aim for 15 to 30 minutes of mild exercise a day in the postpartum period. Talk to your doctor if you still experience constipation. Call your doctor if these measures do not make a difference in your bowel habits within a couple of days. Your doctor may recommend a gentle stool softener until your body becomes regular again. Do not take an over-the-counter stool softener without consulting your physician.

Problem: Article: Place several T-pins along the lace line, which is where the hairline starts, and place a few more near each ear to secure the wig to the stand. If you have a full-lace wig, place the pins near the hairline. If you have a lace-front wig, place the pins within the lace line. Check that the wig stand is straight. If it’s at an angle, your wig could end up with an accidental asymmetrical haircut! Spend a few minutes gently brushing out your wig. You want to ensure that there are no tangles or sections of hair that aren’t falling where they should. Since your wig doesn’t grow back, you need to be patient when preparing to cut it. This is a great time to think about what length you want your wig to be if you don’t already know. Move your fingers down the hair until they are at the length where you want to wig to be. Try to hold the hair so that it’s flat between your middle and index fingers, rather than bunched together. If you want to make a drastic change and go from long hair to medium-length or short hair, just adjust where you’re going to make the cuts to get the length you desire. Use your hair-cutting scissors and cut up into the hair, trimming it across the entire length of your fingers. Make small, even snips to prevent any accidents. You could cut straight across rather than at a 45-degree angle, but the angle helps the hair look more natural than a straight, blunt cut would. When moving on to a new section, use some of the hair from an already-cut area to guide the trimming so everything ends up being the same length. Keep in mind that you can always trim or cut your wig shorter if you want to in the future, but you can’t make it longer! Walk all around the wig, checking the ends for any long, scraggly hairs you might have missed in the trimming process. Snip them off to clean up your wig. Also check the length of the hairs on either side of the wig to make sure they are even.
Summary: Pin your wig in place on a wig stand. Comb or brush the hair to remove any tangles. Start with the back of the wig and work in small sections. Cut the hair at a 45-degree angle, taking care to not cut your fingers. Trim the entirety of your wig until all the ends are the same length. Snip off any loose, long hairs that you missed in the trimming process.

Tear off a strip of tape approximately 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) in length and press it into place over the line created by the overlapping material. Run your finger back and forth over the tape a few times to make sure it stays put.  Any variety of tape could work, but clear tape tends to be the most forgiving to work with, since it tears and smooths easily and can be peeled off and reapplied if you happen to make a mistake. If you like, you can also cover the seam on the inside of the cone with a second strip of tape to be doubly certain that it will hold. Once you’ve mixed your henna paste, use a spoon to scoop it into the open end and shake the cone gently to help it settle. Be careful not to overfill your cone. Doing so will make it harder to seal, and could result in an unexpected mess. Henna stains very easily, so be sure to pull on a pair of rubber gloves before you begin handling your homemade henna paste. It may also be a good idea to cover your work surface with a layer of paper towels or newsprint.
