INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Following your C section the doctor will likely give you a list of instructions on how to properly care for the incision scar. It is very important that you listen to your doctor and follow all of the instructions carefully. You don't want to end up back in the hospital dealing with an infection that could have been avoided. For the first twenty fours after your C section, your scar will be covered with a sterile bandage to reduce the chance of an infection. Your doctor will put on the bandage immediately following the procedure. These bandages will then be removed by your doctor or a nurse about 24 hours after the surgery. Immediately following the procedure you will be given anti-inflammatory and pain medications to help reduce the swelling and pain caused by the surgery. These medications do not impact your ability to breastfeed and should be taken to help with your recovery. Make sure that your follow the directions carefully. Some hospital staff may encourage women to hold an ice pack to the incision area for the first day to help reduce swelling. You will need to stay in bed for anywhere from 12 to 18 hours following the surgery. During this time, you will be hooked up to a catheter so you will not need to get up to go to the washroom. This rest time is necessary to allow your body to recover. Once the catheter has been removed, you should stand up and try walking around. This can begin to promote healing in your scar because it will help increase your blood circulation. Prior to being discharged from the hospital, which will usually be about four days after delivery, your doctor will remove the staples from the incision. If your doctor used stitches instead of staples they will fall out on their own and do not need to be removed. Once the bandages have been removed, it is important that you expose your incision to the air. This will help promote healing. This does not mean that you have to walk around all day in a state of undress. Instead, avoid wearing tight clothes so that air can reach the scar. For the first few weeks after the surgery you should avoid lifting heavy objects. It is recommended that you not lift anything that is heavier than your newborn baby. This is so that you do not irritate your incision or cause tearing from over exertion. Hold off on any rigorous physical activity for at least 4-6 weeks to allow the scar to heal. Some doctors recommend applying anti-bacterial ointments to the scar tissue to help with healing. Other doctors believe that the best way to heal the incision is to avoid putting anything on the wound. Ask your doctor what is best for your particular incision. About 6 weeks after the surgery you can begin to moisturize the area with creams.

SUMMARY: Listen to and follow your doctors instructions. Cover the scar with a bandage. Take anti-inflammatory medication. Stay in bed for 12-18 hours after the surgery. Have any staples removed before leaving the hospital. Expose the incision to air. Do not lift heavy objects. Ask your doctor about applying creams to the incision.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It would be even better if you bought 2 weaving nets, and stacked them together. This will give you a sturdier base. You can buy weaving nets online and from shops that sell wig making supplies. If you are buying netting from a fabric store, you need enough to drape over your head and cover the hairline, plus a few inches/centimeters extra. You can also use French lace, or other types of lace used for wig making. If you will be ventilating your wig, you should get ventilating lace. Drape the netting over the wig head, with the front edge 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) below the drawn hairline. Pull the netting taut across the forehead, and secure it with sewing pins. You will need a pin at the front-center of the netting as well as a pin at each temple. Insert the pins at a slight angle; this will help prevent the netting from slipping past the pin heads. Move towards the back of the wig head. Pull the netting down until it is taut across the top of the head. Secure it to the nape with more sewing pins. Place the pins about 1 inch (2.5cm) below the drawn hairline. Pull down on the netting as you pin so that it is nice and snug. You need a pin in front of and behind each ear hole. Make sure that the lace is going past the hairline. If it isn't, it is either off-center or too narrow. If the lace is too narrow, you will need to cut a larger piece and start again. If the lace is off-center, you need to re-position it and re-pin it. You will need to create a dart in front and behind each ear. Pinch the edges of the netting so that it lays smoothly against the wig head. Secure the dart with pins, following the curve of the wig head. When you are done, your netting should be laying smoothly across the top of the wig head. Make sure that you are only pinning through the netting. Don't insert the pins into the wig head.

SUMMARY: Buy a weaving net from a wig making supply store. Pull the netting taut across the forehead and secure it with sewing pins. Repeat the process for the back of the wig head. Secure the sides of the netting over the ears. Pinch the netting to create darts and a tighter fit.

SUMMARY:
Lay out the Pillowcase on a work area. Pour hydrogen peroxide directly on the blood spot. Let the hydrogen peroxide fizz or bubble for a few minutes, to allow the chemical to react to the blood spot and break it down. Blot with a damp sponge or cloth. Repeat steps 2 to 4 until the blood spot is removed. Launder the Pillowcase as usual, in cold water.
