How to recover after childbirth?

Childbirth is a long-awaited, but, frankly speaking, frightening process. For girls, especially during the first time, it is filled with a lot of unknowns. How to behave during and what to do after, when your body is in a completely new state?

We understand how difficult it can be to be prepared for everything, but we have some tips to make your postpartum recovery easier.

Let us share 6 rules that will make childbirth less stressful:

1. Find out all the details of your delivery

For example, was there an episiotomy, vaginal tears, and etc.

This will make it easier to plan for a more comfortable post-partum recovery.

2. Be attentive to intimate hygiene.

The intimate area should be dry and clean. Change sanitary pads every 4-6 hours.

3. Rest.

For the first 2 weeks, avoid overexertion and do as much as possible (even feeding) in a horizontal position.

4. Monitor everyday movements.

Do everything so that it does not affect the tension in your pelvis and lower abdomen. For example, stand up gently and try to maintain a straight posture.

5. Start intimate training 2 months after delivery

In any case, after delivery the pelvic floor muscles have weakened. Start training without equipment and later you can add pelvic floor simulators to your routine.
