Giving birth is hard! Unfortunately, the recovery process after giving birth is not easy either. However, just because us mothers have it hard, doesn’t mean we can’t get through the same problem together.
Let this guide to postnatal care help you recover from giving birth safely and quickly!
1. REST MORE OFTEN
Finally, you made it through one of the most challenging phases of being a mother! You deserve all the rest in the world. Fortunately, part of postnatal care is giving yourself plenty of time to rest so you can combat your fatigue and stress.
2. REQUEST HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS OR FAMILY
Mothers are some of the most resilient people in the world, but that doesn’t mean they can solve their problems alone. If you’re having trouble with postnatal care, ask help from others (such as your husband, brother, sister, etc.) and let them do the dishes, cook your food, or any other household chores.
3. MAINTAIN A HEALTHY DIET
Now that the baby is out of your postpartum belly, you can eat all the food that you want! Well, not exactly. You still need to maintain a healthy diet that consists of veggies, fruits, and
protein to keep both you and your baby healthy (through breastfeeding).
4. EXERCISE (BUT ASK YOUR DOCTOR FIRST)
Before you go outside and workout at the gym, consult your doctor first and discover whether or not your body is ready. Your doctor knows everything about postnatal care, so let them tell you if you are healthy enough to exercise.
5. TRY TO STAY ACTIVE
You can rest and sleep as much as possible, but you also have to stay active by moving around the house from time to time. A simple activity such as walking or stretching is safe enough for you to stay active and keep your body energised.
