Im due in a few weeks and keep thinking about how things will be after a normal delivery. Honestly thoda nervous about the changes down there and whether it goes back to normal. Mommies who delivered, can u share how it was for u?
Girl, after delivery I was so focused on eating gond ke laddoo and recovering that I didn't even think about tightness, haha! It takes time for things to heal down there. Just be patient and let your body recover slowly.
Yes, the body is amazing and heals really well after normal delivery. It might feel different or even tight if there are stitches healing. Just give it some time, do light exercises when ready, and keep a positive outlook!
If you had severe tearing or an episiotomy, scar tissue can make it feel tight or painful. Since I had some healing complications, I highly recommend asking your doctor or a pelvic floor therapist if you feel unusual pain.
During my discharge brief at the hospital, the physio staff explained pelvic floor recovery very clearly. If you feel tightness or pain during intimacy, please ask your doctor or hospital's postpartum therapist directly. They can guide you perfectly.
Actually, the pelvic floor muscles stretch a lot during birth, but you can tone them up later. Doing pelvic floor exercises like Kegels helps a lot, but only start them once your doctor clears you postpartum.
