How much damage does birthing a baby do to your body

As I understand it, you can't just get up and walk it off


I know, what an ignorant question... but help me out here

It's different for everybody. Some women may have no serious damage, others will never be the same and may have lifelong complications. The experience is never the same for everyone
It is the other way round mostly in my part of the tiny world. For a mother, her baby/s' body or health is of concern. Once a parent, me transforms to he & she.

With a healthy n maternal instinct, there occurs no damage that can't be recovered within time with efforts.

All that any pregnant one needs to remember is to be in joy for self n as a result, the coming life/ves.

@sspec thank you for the different perspective!
@caPnAhab Perspectives are precisely what we come across online.
Yeah I ended up with an emergency c-section.

@Spunkylama oh I hope it healed back up quick
@caPnAhab I was up and moving around the next day. Not too bad.
Without putting too fine a point on it, while the body is designed to do this, it’s still a small human head and body passing through an opening that’s considerably smaller and only stretches so much. An episiotomy is a cut that helps the delivery. It’s not always necessary, but it takes a bit of time to heal. There are also some conditions that can come up during pregnancies that can be life-altering for the mother long after the baby’s been born.

During: swelling nausea weight gain excessive sweating inability to bend overlay a certain way in bed or bloody sleep well high emotions

Birth:
3rd degree tear .....meaning the baby is bigger than the exit hole. It isn't stretchy


Lots of bleeding for what seems like forever
Boob issues
Hemorrhoids ...etc

@JaggedLittlePill ah, sounds terrible. I already know it is but just a little more clear.

Having recently becoming a new uncle, this is on my mind just a little bit

Well, this doesn't really answer your question per se, but it was not uncommon for women to die of it only a couple centuries ago.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@DDonde oh yes, I know

Thanks to modern medicine and technology it's a different world

I had a C-section and lost half of my blood. Almost had to have a hysterectomy. That was the first pregnancy.

@caPnAhab yah it was bad. The doctor cut me and I was bleeding internally. I live in a small town and a storm was coming so my dad went to the city and got me 2 units of blood. I had those transfused and I kept bleeding into my uterus so they transferred me to the city. I had 4 more units of blood there and wasn’t able to eat for 5 days because they kept having to check me for clots to see if I needed a hysterectomy or a D&C.

My second pregnancy, I threw up 5-10 times a day from 3 weeks until my son was born. My pelvis also started to separate. Good times lol

@iamonfire696 I'm thankful we live in this time where modern medicine and technology help these things become even a little easier.

@caPnAhab me too because I would have been dead otherwise
