Things To Except With Your Bum After Vaginal Birth

Before the birth of her baby, every expectant mother is always geared with everything her newborn will need, from the diapers to the clothes, bibs and nappy rash cream to say the least. Preparing for the baby is not always hard because you are familiar with what to get but are you ready for the others things that happen after delivery to the mother. The newborn mother's body goes through some changes and she  will need to be prepared for the new changes.

If you gave birth vaginally, you're going to need some guide to postpartum body care.

The Basics

The condition of your vaginal is no more private because, during delivery, you must have flaked all your body for anyone that cares to see. After childbirth, depending a lot on your particular birth experience, you're going to have a tougher recovery than if your baby is bigger than that of someone with a smaller baby and it's not possible for your perineum to stay intact. But genetics can play a part too.

The Aftermath

Expect lots of bleeding and some general soreness. Wondering how much blood to be prepared for? No matter how long you pushed for, expect some swelling. You can also expect small contractions and occasional gushes of blood, especially when you breastfeed. But don't worry about this, it is a good thing.what it means is that your uterus shrinking back to its normal size. In addition, you may have some trouble pooping, and you’ll probably spring a few leaks(pee)

If you have any stitches from tearing, expect them to first be sore and then a little itchy. Most stitches reabsorb in about three weeks. Later, you’ll have some scar tissue, but chances are you will probably never notice.

Things You Can Do

Take All The Freebies Things

You'll definitely want to cop some freebies from your postpartum recovery room before checking out of the hospital. Get as many of the hospital pads as possible,they always come in handy.  (Don't be shy — ask your nurse for extras.) If they have disposable panties, you can get more from them .No, they're not sexy, but when you're bleeding for weeks on end, disposable panties rock. And don't forget your peri bottle (a squirt bottle for rinsing). It will keep you feeling clean and also help any stinging that may happen when your pee hits your stitches.

Seat On Hot Water

Sitting on the steam of hot water alway helps with the stitches.says. Take one every time you pee or poop for the first week and several times a day for the next week. Be diligent. Set aside those 15 minutes it takes to sit there with your bottom in water.And do not  sit through it all out to avoid heating up the vaginal.

Do Your Kegels

Strengthening your pelvic floor by doing Kegel exercises is a must because it helps to  maintain urinary continence and function of your anal sphincter.

Poop

Pooping after a vaginal birth can be a very big deal but don't be scared, just do it because the pain is nothing compared to the labor pain. "Don't think of holding it in because if you hold it in, it just gets bigger. And if you need help, get help.  You can use a poop softner to make it easier.

Invest in Some Lube

A vaginal birth is not the end to your sex life but your vagina will never be exactly the same after a vaginal delivery.  Sex is on the horizon, though. Good sex, even. Still, it will take some time for things to feel totally "normal" again after delivering a baby. When you’re ready for sex (and you've held off for the recommended six weeks), go for it. Just don't forget a lube to make things easier down there.  That's because  you're low on estrogen after delivery (and while you're breastfeeding), causing a thinning of your "vaginal mucosa" (or vaginal membrane), which can lead to dryness. Altogether, this can make sex hurt a lot. That's why investing in some lube will be a lifesaver.
