Do you feel "better " after giving birth ?

Question

I am feeling so weak and dizzy at the moment (37 weeks) and I was wondering if your energy levels go up after delivering the baby?
I want to have as much energy as I can to look after my newborn as I won't have my mom or mother in law around to help at the beginning.

Answer

All of my pregnancy woes left the second my kiddos left my body. It is a nice feeling to have your body be just yours again!

Answer

Oh my goodness, I had aches and pains, all sorts, toward the end of pregnancy, and toward the end of actual labor I was so exhausted, I kept falling asleep in the few seconds between contractions. But as soon as my son was born, I was wide awake and felt fantastic! Most of my aches and pains were gone when I got up off the bed for the first time. It's pretty incredible!

Answer

Right after my first baby popped out, the pain ceased to existed, and I had what the call a “birthing high” I was running on adrenaline and so happy and on cloud nine, that whole day I couldn’t sleep and didn’t feel as sleepy or sore, Olin was just so excited to have my baby and to stare at her😍 Then, that night hit, and I crashed, feeling the discomfort in my hooha and SUPER tired from not sleeping in two days, but of course I couldn’t just go to bed, I had a newborn to wake and feed, change, and try to get settled to sleep...you may not have all the same discomforts you do from being pregnant, but you will have new ones from having just given birth, and you will still be exhausted from caring for a newborn. But I’d do it all over again for my babies to be in my arms, and I am😉

Answer

Feel some pain downstairs. But def feel better. No Reflux nausea lighting. No braxton hicks

Answer

You will definitely be working on adrenaline! It’s hard getting up with them every 2 hours- i remember crying the first night home because I was just exhausted. Just try to not have too many visitors at hospital and get as much rest after.

Answer

It’s like a shot of adrenaline hits you once baby is born. You will be tired don’t get me wrong, but it takes a couple of hours before you realize that, and also you will have pain from delivery, but that’s about it. Everything I experienced during pregnancy went away once my sons were born, it was amazing!

Answer

It all depends. I ended up with a c-section so now I have a whole new set of challenges. I know lots who are knocked out by vaginal delivery too. I wouldn’t rely on feeling better

Answer

I feel pretty much okay besides my hormones trying to balance themselves back out ❤️

Answer

Yes!!! I felt completely normal an hour after i had her and my energy level was pretty high. I am expecting the same this time around.
