Life After Baby: The Postpartum Recovery Period

In this pregnancy class, Sonali Shivlani takes you through what to expect when getting back to your regular routine, after the birth of your bundle of joy

- Sonali Shivlani

The first few hours after the birth of your little one is generally a blur of emotions. Congratulations are in order, and you’re most certainly experiencing the unadulterated love of holding our baby, and a whole lot of relief, coupled with other emotions. It’s only after this wave of excitement and emotions dies down that you will start thinking about your next steps you’ll need to take to get back to your routine, and perhaps, in better physical shape. But what you need to do, completely depends on how you gave birth. Let’s review...

You may have had a vaginal birth or a surgical birth with some variations in between. Say, for example, the use of a vacuum, or you may have had an episiotomy. Whatever your delivery, it is important that you give your body the utmost attention when it comes to care and recovery.
