Giving birth is an amazing and beautiful event, but it's also painful.
The primary cause of perineal pain is due to having an episiotomy or tearing during delivery. The perineum is an extremely tender site for a cut or stitches, and women report a wide range of pain, from mild to excruciating.
In addition, the pushing and straining during birth can sometimes cause hemorrhoids (piles) to develop.
It is nearly impossible to be a cheerful new mom under these circumstances!
Epicushion was designed by mothers, for mothers.
While most women are aware of the potential for fatigue and sore breasts from engorgement, there are other post-labor issues that no one ever talks about.
Once a new mother leaves the hospital with her newborn, she is left to mend her wounds almost entirely on her own. The mothers who designed Epicushion understand this, and do not believe that perineal pain should take away from the joys of motherhood.
