Did you experience these?
You’ve just given birth to a beautiful baby and you’re adjusting to being a new mum when you start feeling like you’re in labour all again.
Often referred to as after-pains, the contractions you experience after birth will also prevent you from losing too much blood.While you were pregnant, your uterus grew to 25 times the size it normally is to accommodate your growing baby. Once your baby has been born, it isn’t safe for your uterus to remain at this expanded size so your body starts a natural process known as involution.
They often feel like menstrual cramps and are usually worse if you’ve given birth before. They are at their most intense for the first few days after you’ve delivered your baby and they happen whether you have had a vaginal birth or a caesarean section.
