Recovery

Who else has been lucky to have an amazing recovery after vaginal delivery! ? So I had my beautiful baby girl on Tuesday 3/10 and today is 5 days post delivery and I feel fantastic. I had no tears...no hemorrhoids and honestly feel like my vagina has completely healed. I feel like I can start exercising already! My bleeding as of today has been very minimal as well....Has anyone else been this lucky! ?

I recovered well from my 2 previous pregnancies. No tears and minimal bleeding after day 5 as well. With my second, I did notice the more I rushed around, the more the bleeding would pick up and be quite heavy again. So I just recommend taking it easy still :-)

I felt that way with my first. Just be careful be a use even if you feel great your body still needs time. I remember going to the grocery store right after because I felt great and almost passed out. I'm glad your feeling so well though!

For my second baby I felt great the moment I had her. I didnt tear or nothing. I just had my period I asked to leave the hospital right away. I was able togo home and do everything else I did before. But my mom wouldnt have it tho lol.
