Postpartum recovery and healing after birth from a vaginal delivery can be tough. I needed all the tips and advice! After experiencing labor and delivery PLUS postpartum recovery for the first time, I feel like women must be the toughest things on this planet..or maybe their vaginas. However, even if after labor, we realize Wonderwoman must be kin, we still need to slow down and properly heal. This can be challenging to some (ahem -> me too).
You have probably nested in epic proportions; the house has never been so organized (for some reason the baby needs those pots and pans stacked precisely by size), the floors have never been so clean and the nursery couldn’t be more perfect.
Nailing shelves in at 12 am, organizing that closet that hasn’t been opened in years, and scrubbing floors till they compare to hospital grade sterilization may be how you prepared for baby but what about you?
How have you prepared for your body to heal after birth? Because, let’s be real: if you gave birth (or will be giving birth) vaginally, your entire lady area is going to need some serious TLC to properly recover postpartum.
