Good nutrition and gentle movement can help your body heal and restore energy levels. During the check-up, your doctor will guide you on what foods to prioritise, how to gradually reintroduce exercise, and ways to care for your physical and mental well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about physical recovery, emotional support, and when to seek medical help—to help you navigate this important stage with confidence.

How long does vaginal bleeding (lochia) last after childbirth?

Vaginal bleeding and discharge are normal after birth and may continue for several weeks, gradually decreasing over time.

Will I lose weight after giving birth?

Many women experience some natural weight loss after delivery, but the amount and pace vary for each person.

What breast changes can I expect?

Breast engorgement is common a few days after birth. Frequent breastfeeding on both breasts can help relieve soreness and fullness.

What can I take for postpartum pain?

Mild pain is normal. Your doctor may recommend over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to ease discomfort.

When can I start exercising again?

Gentle activities like walking and pelvic floor exercises are usually safe once your doctor gives clearance—typically at your postpartum check-up.

How long do stitches take to heal after a vaginal delivery?

Stitches usually heal within a few weeks with proper care and hygiene.

When is it safe to resume sexual activity?

Most doctors recommend waiting about six weeks, or until your body has healed. Always consult your O&G specialist before resuming sex.

What are the signs of postpartum depression?

Signs include prolonged sadness, mood swings, irritability, fatigue, and loss of interest in daily activities. If these feelings persist, seek support early—it’s important for both you and your baby.

Are mood swings normal after giving birth?

Yes. Many women experience “postnatal blues” in the first few days or weeks. But if you feel overwhelmed or persistently low, talk to a healthcare provider.
