Getting your bearings after childbirth
First of all, there is the fatigue that can creep into this new life, and this is completely normal because your sleep capital is well depleted by often broken nights! Don't worry: you will find your rhythm little by little after giving birth.
In the meantime, feel free to sleep every chance you get. You have certainly been told that the best way to recover is to sleep when your baby is sleeping, so fall into the arms of Morpheus without guilt and ignoring the cleaning and ironing, which will wait!
This fatigue can be compounded by stress or the feeling of being overwhelmed. It's not always easy to take care of a newborn, decipher their cries and adopt the right actions upon returning home. Again, it's only a matter of time before you find your feet with baby.
If you feel depressed or anxious, you may be a victim of the baby blues, which has its source in the hormonal drop that follows childbirth. Rest, get help, and if this feeling of sadness continues to overwhelm you and lasts beyond 15 days, do not hesitate to talk about it and consult: you may be in a post-depression phase. -partum.
In all cases, it is important to adopt a diet rich in vitamins, varied and balanced. If you feel low, ask your midwife or doctor for a vitamin course to give your body a boost.
Another tip to feel good and slowly start physical activity again: get some fresh air regularly with your baby. If resuming sport is not yet a possibility ( perineal rehabilitation sessions only begin, at best, 6 weeks post-partum), you can indulge in long strolls in a stroller or practice brisk walking. . This gentle sport – because it is one – will help you regain your energy, build muscle gently, while stocking up on vitamin D which has a direct effect on morale and good humor!

And yes, contractions continue after childbirth, and they can be painful, and even be more pronounced when breastfeeding! Be patient, they will disappear on their own in a while...
If you gave birth by cesarean section, or if you had an episiotomy: the scar will probably be a source of pain for a few days or weeks. You can consider sitz baths after healing: they relieve inflammation.
