What happens after birth??

Question

Like to your body.....
What can I expect 😭
As far as bleeding, why you have to wear a pad, how recovery is, how long it takes to recover, what does your belly look like, how exhausting is it... any tips like that please!

Answer

After baby expect belly to feel like jelly for a few weeks. Its so cushiony and weird. bleeding lasts 4-6 weeks but real heavy first 2-3 weeks then just like a period.

Answer

I haven't had a baby myself but I work with pregnant/postpartum women a lot. 
Expect your belly to feel like bread dough, squishy and loose for a while. 
It will likely be very painful in your vaginal area for around 10 days and bleeding should last for around 6 weeks. Sometimes more. 
You should not expect blood clots larger than a golf ball, if you do seek medical attention. 
You're going to be very emotional. Your hormones make it impossible to control and with your new sweet baby it may be hard to work through. Read up on the signs and symptoms of postpartum depression and don't be afraid to seek help if you feel you have it. 
Once baby is born all of your instincts turn to caring for your child. Don't forget to care for yourself as well 💕 remember that postpartum is nicknamed the 4th trimester for a reason. Don't be afraid to ask for and accept help.

Answer

its extremely tiring because the baby doesnt sleep lol ... u may get afterpains which are contractions that bring ur uterus back down ... it gets worse with subsequent pregnancies.

Answer

I didn't have much bleeding used panty liners for the most part. Belly felt so giggly and loose, and I was super horny! I had a csection so I was in a lot of pain.

Answer

get some depends...way easier than pads. my experience is...my stomach and vagina looked and felt like a blown out tire. BUT they bounce back quickly, so don't worry too much.
