Caesarean Pain Relief
Caesarean section rates in the Arab world can vary from under 2% of the general population in Yemen to over 15% in Bahrain. About one fifth of women who undergo a caesarean section also suffer from chronic pain for 3 months after it. Research has shown that mothers who breastfeed for 2 months or longer have significantly reduced chronic pain as compared to mothers who had to stop breastfeeding at 2 months or less.
