My Expert Midwife is an award-winning brand providing natural skincare products to help tackle the side effects of pregnancy, birth and being a new mum. Karen McEwen, one of My Expert Midwife’s in-house registered midwives, has shared her expert knowledge on looking after your body and mind after giving birth.
Being pregnant and birthing a baby can be exhausting. However, after the birth and as a new mum you need to prioritise your recovery. Whether you have had a vaginal birth or a caesarean section, you will most likely be coping with some considerable soreness during this time, as well as perhaps tender nipples and the remains of some pelvic pain from the pregnancy. All whilst feeding and caring for your newborn’s needs around the clock too.
All these physical symptoms may also contribute towards a lower mood, with women often describing heightened emotions, anxieties and tensions during the postnatal period. So, when we understand the pressures on a new mum, we can see how this time needs to be one of rest and recuperation to help recovery.
Planning for recovery in the postnatal period is therefore a wise strategy to help you to optimise this time and to engage help from those around you. To help you recover from pregnancy, labour and birth, you need others to take care of house chores, food preparation and anything else that requires time away from baby and from resting. You need loved ones to be a ‘sounding board’ so you can debrief and share your experiences and emotions. You may also need reassurance – that you are doing great, that it will get easier and that you are loved no matter what.
Once you feel secure, you can turn your focus to your own physical and emotional recovery during this period for however long it takes, which can vary from one person to another.
Caring for your physical health
Depending on what type of labour or birth you had means your needs can vary greatly. Straightforward births are usually easier to recover from, but more complicated births can take longer. Here are some tips to provide you with a little more comfort in the early days:
If you have had a caesarean section, you need to remember this is a major surgical procedure, which is likely to take longer to heal afterwards than a vaginal birth. You may find your movement is much more restricted, so you need to take more care when walking around and when getting in and out of bed etc. If possible, you may need more help for a longer period of time from your family and friends. Check your wound daily to make sure it is healing well. There should not be any redness that is spreading or any smells or oozing coming from the wound site. If you are worried, contact your midwife or GP for advice.
Caring for your mental health
It is very common for women to feel tearful for a few days after the birth, so don’t be alarmed if you suddenly burst into tears for no apparent reason. This is not unusual and is known as the ‘baby blues’. It is caused by the powerful cocktail of hormones your body produces during pregnancy, which are now changing to a different mix of hormones needed for postnatal recovery and breastfeeding.
However, it’s wise to recognise there is a difference between this and postnatal depression (PND). PND affects up to 1 in 10 women to varying degrees and can last for several months or longer. Taking a few steps in the early days can help you to optimise your emotional recovery but also recognise when you may need extra support:
So, remember after the birth it’s not just all about the baby, it is essential you take care of your own physical and mental health needs, so you are in the best shape to continue your journey into family life.
