Your body may not feel like “your own” right away, but it is healing beautifully. Expect:
- Vaginal bleeding (lochia) for up to 6 weeks
- Swelling in legs and feet
- Sore breasts, possible engorgement or leaking
- Weak abdominal muscles
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort
- Emotional swings
This is a season of healing, not pressure. Prioritize gentle movement, hydration, good nutrition, and compassion for yourself.
