New moms urged to immediately use birth control to avoid unplanned pregnancies.
THE woman is at her most fragile point after giving birth. She needs to recover physically from the hours of labour and her stitches need to heal. Her energy levels are also low and need to be rejuvenated. Anxiety about having a new or first baby might also overwhelm the mom. Some women might even feel insecure about their bodies after the birth of a child and worry that their sexual relationship with their partner might take a dip.
EXHAUSTED AND WEAK
