My delivery was about a month back and my MIL is saying I should start taking hempushpa for strength. I havent asked my gynac yet, thoda confused if its ok this soon postpartum. Anyone took it after delivery?
Dear, please avoid taking Hempushpa or any such herbal syrups without consulting your doctor first, especially post-delivery. Your body is still healing and if you are breastfeeding, it can pass to the baby.
Actually yaar, I wouldn't risk it at all. Postpartum hormones are already all over the place, so why take any random tonic without checking with your doc?
Honestly, after my delivery I felt so weak and wanted to try things, but my doc told me to wait. I wouldn't suggest taking any strong ayurvedic tonic without asking your gynac first as it might affect your recovery.
When I was staying at my parents place post delivery, my mother also suggested some traditional things but my dad said strictly ask the doctor first. Postpartum body is very delicate, so please check with your gynac once before starting it.
You should check with your doctor during your 6-week postpartum follow up. Self-medicating with any tonics right now is not practical and can delay your normal recovery.
