Because the only thing you need is rest in this period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After giving birth, you may be surprised when you look at your body. Your stomach may have become smaller, or your legs might seem swollen. On the first day after birth, starting with light exercises and gradually increasing them will help your body return to its pre-pregnancy form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_69_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bebek.com\/en\/first-days-after-birth\/#Postpartum_Pains\" title=\"Postpartum Pains\">Postpartum Pains<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bebek.com\/en\/first-days-after-birth\/#Urination\" title=\"Urination\">Urination<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bebek.com\/en\/first-days-after-birth\/#Bleeding\" title=\"Bleeding\">Bleeding<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bebek.com\/en\/first-days-after-birth\/#Bowel_Movements\" title=\"Bowel Movements\">Bowel Movements<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bebek.com\/en\/first-days-after-birth\/#Stitches\" title=\"Stitches\">Stitches<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Postpartum_Pains\"><\/span><b>Postpartum Pains<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may experience some pain during the first few days after birth. Don&#8217;t hesitate to ask your doctor or nurse about any concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Especially in the first few days, you may experience pains in your lower abdomen, especially while breastfeeding. This is due to the reflex triggered by nursing, causing spasms as the uterus returns to its normal size.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These pains indicate that your body is returning to normal and can last for days. If the spasms are very severe, you can take a pain reliever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Urination\"><\/span><b>Urination<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequent urination in the first few days is normal as your body eliminates excess fluids accumulated during pregnancy. Initially, you may find it difficult to go to the toilet, but you should try to urinate soon after giving birth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have difficulties, try to get up and move around to stimulate urination. Sit in warm water and urine, if the water is sterile. Then bathe. If you have stitches, you can pour mild water over them to alleviate any stinging sensation while urinating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bleeding\"><\/span><b>Bleeding<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may experience bleeding for at least two weeks after childbirth. If you are breastfeeding, bleeding may cease more quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, the bleeding is light-coloured and heavy. Gradually, it decreases and becomes darker in colour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bleeding may continue until your first menstrual period. You can use sanitary pads for this, as tampons placed inside are not recommended due to the possibility of carrying disease-causing agents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bowel_Movements\"><\/span><b>Bowel Movements<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may not feel the need to have a bowel movement for a day or two after childbirth. The sooner you get up and walk around after giving birth, the sooner your bowel movements will start.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drink plenty of water and eat fibrous foods. When you feel the need to have a bowel movement, don&#8217;t wait. However, don&#8217;t force yourself or strain while on the toilet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While making your bowel movement, the chances of your stitches opening are low, but you can gently press a clean cloth on them to prevent any problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stitches\"><\/span><b>Stitches<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stitches may cause some pain during the first few days. Most stitches dissolve within a week, while external stitches may fall out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make healing faster, perform pelvic muscle exercises right after giving birth. Keep the stitches clean by sitting in warm water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After washing, make sure to dry thoroughly. For this purpose, you can use a hair dryer at a mild air temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also soothe the pain by placing an ice pack on the stitched area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have further questions, please share our experiences in the comments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay healthy!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the first week after giving birth, sleep whenever you have the opportunity.
