Endurance runner's experience with home health OT after C-section

Endurance runner's experience with home health OT after C-section

Four days after her C-section, Jenna couldn’t lie flat.

She was short of breath. Her blood pressure kept climbing. She went to OB triage and was told to go home and rest. Instead, she went to the main emergency department with ongoing chest pressure, where her systolic blood pressure rose above 180 and her BNP registered at 1650. She was treated for postpartum fluid overload and acute heart failure.

Jenna is an ultra-endurance athlete and cofounder of Enhanced Recovery After Delivery®. In this conversation, she shares what warning signs were missed, what happened during her postpartum readmission, and the role of home health occupational therapy after discharge from the hospital.

Topics discussed:

  • Postpartum readmission
  • Acute heart failure after C-section
  • Home health OT
  • Return to running after birth
  • Early postpartum rehab
  1. Start your postpartum rehab practice within the first week after birth: https://courses.pelvichealthnetwork.org/postpartum-rehab-practice
