Why it’s so important to rest after birth ? #shorts #postpartumrecovery #postpartum
After 9 long months of pregnancy, most women are eager to jump back into their old fitness routine to get their pre-pregnancy body back. However, after your delivery, you are told to get good rest for 6-8 weeks – here is the reason for that
Your placenta has an average diameter of 21-22cm that implants on your uterine wall. Once you birth the placenta you are left with a large wound.
If we saw this wound on the outside we would be in bed resting, we would have people doing everything for us, no one would let you over do it. Yet when you give birth it’s expected of you to rest but also still manage everything else.
Lets be honest this actually leaves little time to rest.
It takes on average 4-6 weeks for this wound to fully heal. During this time your bleeding, your feeling sore and things feel really different. Not only have you given birth to your baby, but you have also birthed an organ.
Your body is amazing at healing but it also needs your help to
🔸️Nourish
🔸️Rest
🔸️Support
When these three things are set up, women may experience a quicker healing time and feel better much faster.
Even if your birth was straight forward, this wound like all wounds can reopen, bleed and be susceptible to infection when your overdoing it or not prioritising rest and recovery.
Your body is doing so much during this healing time.
Do yourself a favour and REST!

My husband is the only one I can rely on. Friends have offered support, but they have very busy schedules. Praying God gives me the support I need 🙏
I wish I could say the same as for my mom like everyone else, tho she means well by helping around but she also expect me to have a clean house while I’m still recovering and kept making side comments about my toddler. I just had to tell her enough 😢 most times words hurt more than anything.
Going through this right now, and when family think they’re helping, with all the side comments after helping because you can’t help yourself because you are still trying to heal, it’s better not to get help at all.
This is not 99% true.
Could you give a metanalysis study that recommend women after Caesarean birth to take full rest for months?
This is so lost. The wound need activity and mobility factors to be healed. As long as it's not an excessive train.
Thank u for that video
In india and with in laws 😮
Exactly every one doesnit have good family support…
I went right into freeze response (no one noticed) after giving birth 11 years ago had a horrible experience while and after giving birth in the hospital and had no supportive environment (toxic partner). I was restless 24/7 with 4 hours of sleep every night with 2 milk breaks, a never sleeping baby big appartment/household, until burned out (dorsal vagal shutdown) and rehab and never left this freeze response 😢.
I took me 10 years to find out I was traumatized and none of the doctors/nurses/therapists realised that!
So i had no time to rest after birth but I hope others have the chance to do it.

The uterus will never be that distended directly after birth. It is at least half that size, but yes involution will happen fully over this timeframe sometimes more
Let's just say it's important to stand up for your body! Don't allow anyone to tell you, you have to be intimate after just having a baby! I didn't and I found out I was pregnant at my first check-up after giving birth! My two sons stay the same age for a month and 1 week! I have pelvic organ prolapse and I'm 46! Take care of yourself!
Thankful to our God coz he bless me with good husband
Oi……due may 25th.
I'm more terrified of birth and postpartum than anything. 😏
First time mom here of a baby boy! 😅
Can you believe I have an amazing mother in law who invited us to live in her house for a couple years, knowing that we were planning to have more two children. (It’s a HUGE house and my husband is the only child, works all day in the family business).
But my in law also work during weekdays, and her maids simply started treating me so so badly due to the fact that I came from a foreign country and not that wealthy background.
So on our third child I had serious condition, in which my cervix got lacerations during labor, they had to fix the hemorragia and close it.
But a couple days later I started feeling unwell, couldn’t leave bed, but didn’t know what was happening. They just made hell out of me, saying things like: “I don’t know how some people stands being all day laying in bed or using pijamas”, “so what she gave birth, it’s been two weeks already!”
When I finally got to the doctor, I discovered the blood from birth was locked up inside my uterus in a serious condition called pyometra.
It was so hard doing surgery again to remove it. All I could think about all of the days were my children at home, if they were fine, I missed him so much, and I was so scared of infection getting worse and having to remove my uterus or having some kind of sepsis.
Getting home tired, sad, worried, and listening to this kind of words, even though it was from the maids, and having to explain them I wasn’t feelings well and all the details made me feel so humiliated.
Specially because my mother in law never spoke to me like that, she’s been always happy around the kids and supportive with me.
And then you find people who can still have sex after two weeks of giving hirth😭😭😂
My dictionary has no word as "rest" 😢 going through time
Not all women lucky enough to have that privilege.. Nobody cares..she has to be strong and do everything all by herself..and still needs to take care of her kids &husband while in pain.the evil mom in law add the pain by not letting her rest peacefully,the husband only listen to his mom😢
Good… Planet Ayurveda has the best Ayurvedic herbal medicines for post pregnancy care – Dashmoola Capsules support recovery, strength, and hormonal balance naturally.
Yeah, not so much. Not for the pregnancy.. the labor.. the delivery.. or anytime these last 18 days. I still haven't showered. Ive changed every single diaper and he had the nerve to complain when i didnt throw one away today right away (im exhausted and didn't want to get up right away and then forgot it was there) …. Even in labor all he's cared about is what I'm going to cook and now? Just cares if im still bleeding so he knows if he get any. Im over it. My baby is worth it but dang if it doesnt suck not having the support i was promised when i found out i was pregnant.
I just gave birth to my beautiful, full term baby boy on Thursday and he was born sleeping. I've never known pain like this in my life and I feel like I'll never be whole again, my heart is broken. I have an almost 3 year old who needs me, but I'm struggling just to take care of myself.
Everything reminds me of my angel baby who should be here, but it's not. Every thoght goes to him and I don't know how to feel whole again.
He had the same nose as my older son, and I see him every time I look at that little nose.
My milk fully came in today which has been emotional. I'm going to donate it, so at least something good can come from this sorrow.
Sorry, I know no one asked for this trama dump, I'm just sharing with strangers because I'm so lost.
This makes me sad, I only get 1 1/2 weeks to recover before my husband has to go back to work. I will be having a csection with my 3rd and final baby in July, and once he has to go back to work it will be me with a new born, a 2yo and a 5yo. I know I'm strong enough to do it, but it makes me miss my mom and also makes me wish I had friends 🙁
America doesn’t even support women during this time in their lives
It’s sad
wow i had to do it all on my own with each of my children born and they were large 12 lbs, 8.6 and 9.9 they are now ages soon to be 29, soon to be 28 and soon to be 26, and i am a stage 4 metastatic breast cancer survivor that i was diagnosed over a year ago that is now in remission as i will be turning 49 later this year in 2025.
Props to women, because the more I learn about child birth the more I’m afraid for yall
Every woman should get to rest after childbirth, but unfortunately, that's not possible for many of them because of their manch!Id husbands…
Unfortunately 1 week after having my baby I was walking taking buses and at the local laundromat many of us have this reality and don’t get to heal this way. I pray for a better experience in the future.
Meh, i was lifting the car seat into my tall vehicle to head to the first week checkup. No other choice. Im also 5ft and 100lbs. No help. I had a c section, too.
I think I will take rest in my qabar is dunya me to aram na mumkin😢
And my work has the audacity to tell me i only get up to 6 weeks & i can come back sooner if i feel like it.
I won't be fully healed at that point.
Uterus is a fascinating organ it contract back to its normal size in less than an hour after a delivery. Its the rest if the stuff around it which takes a while, the entire body goes through so much in such a little time is why rest is so important to give time for your body to heal.
Only those with understanding people around them will have rest.
Caption must be after giving birth or after delivery…not after birth…
I operate a daycare with four 2 year olds, a 4 year old, and my own 4 year old. Not to mention my now 7 month old baby. I have been on my own since 2 weeks postpartum because my assistant quit, said it was too much for her. I didn't get my chance to rest, let alone even bond with my baby. I wish you Mama's so much rest ❤
I gave birth to 4 children and i don’t have any family members around me to help except for my husband. As soon as i got home from the hospital i start moving around doing a few works here and there to help my husband even though he stopped me to rest but my mind tells me to get up and work. Every mothers situation are different and it a blessing to have big family around you to help so you can have your rest. God Bless every mothers out there ❤
The golden 40 days rule…
Im resting ..I just gave birth two days ago….
Im two weeks postpartum, and I'm so blessed to have my mom here to help me. She's been amazing. This is my first child, and I'm so fortunate that my mom is here to help me.
Rest only happens with a community to help.
