Why it’s so important to rest after birth ?

After 9 long months of pregnancy, most women are eager to jump back into their old fitness routine to get their pre-pregnancy body back. However, after your delivery, you are told to get good rest for 6-8 weeks - here is the reason for that
Your placenta has an average diameter of 21-22cm that implants on your uterine wall. Once you birth the placenta you are left with a large wound.
If we saw this wound on the outside we would be in bed resting, we would have people doing everything for us, no one would let you over do it. Yet when you give birth it’s expected of you to rest but also still manage everything else.
Lets be honest this actually leaves little time to rest.
It takes on average 4-6 weeks for this wound to fully heal. During this time your bleeding, your feeling sore and things feel really different. Not only have you given birth to your baby, but you have also birthed an organ.
Your body is amazing at healing but it also needs your help to
🔸️Nourish
🔸️Rest
🔸️Support
When these three things are set up, women may experience a quicker healing time and feel better much faster.
Even if your birth was straight forward, this wound like all wounds can reopen, bleed and be susceptible to infection when your overdoing it or not prioritising rest and recovery.
Your body is doing so much during this healing time.
Do yourself a favour and REST!

Do not surround yourself with people that do not value you enough ❤

[@temmylolar5153]

It's painful when people around you feel you acting up when you are actually healing and needing help and you end up being all by yourself..😢😢

[@happyemoji6553]

@@temmylolar5153It’s better to be all by yourself with your baby than be with people who expect you to perform as tho you haven’t just given birth. It’s ok to have dirty house, laundry, dishes and even if you aren’t showering or brushing your teeth as long as you get through the day with you and your baby fed and on bed resting. Your body won’t heal properly if you try to get other people’s approval especially if they don’t care about your well being.

[@spanky5428]

I was just going to say the same exact thing. Even with all the help in the world, if you are breastfeeding you are it. No one can help you there. You are on call 24/7. Not to mention that in America you are expected to bounce back 6 weeks from a vaginal delivery and 8 from a cesarean section. It’s really laughable. Other countries have it much better in that regard.

We are 4 daughters in laws ...My mother in law never ask us even to get out of bed in 40 days ...she says these 40 days are yours to take rest and to take care of your baby....even if we say after 40 days that we aren't well she gives us whole 2 months ❤❤ She is uneducated but such a nice lady hats off to her...she never allow us to call our mothers on day of delivery she says mothers can't see their daughters in pain...and spend whole week with us from the time of delivery (Thanks for your kindness,love prayers...stay blessed you all😘)

I know this is true but with the extra hormones, producing milk, and lack of sleep a new mom should never be taking on obligations like cooking for others.

He was born early morning like 4 am something so when it was morning i went to school and my mother was hungry and my father didn’t cook anything so she had to wake up and cook food that too kneeling down because we didn’t have a table for gas and everything was on the floor. Hearing at stories like this, it hurts cause women needs so much care during the first few weeks post delivery.

[@kimberlylynn4301]

Thank you I’m 8 days post birth with a 3 yr old and 5 year old tandem nursing and I was just feeling so frustrated about all I need to do to manage the house and kids trying to make myself do it all but my bleeding started increasing and I got dizzy after nursing from forgetting to eat , so had to lay down but was feeling like a failure. Noticed this video and it helped put in perspective how many weeks it takes and what my body is going thru at the moment. ( husband works out of state so I feel responsible for everything and worry I’m neglecting too much that needs tended to .. i don’t have family / help but it helps to at least remind myself not to beat myself up about it all and that I’m not a failure to be laying back down right now) God willing some day if my daughters have children I will be there in every way she could want / need to give her the space to enjoy motherhood and rest and heal . I’ll never forget these experiences and hope some day I can gift my daughters with a transformed experience My 5 yr old told me a few weeks ago that when she is pregnant some day she will have a husband who brings her food in bed. It made my heart sad to know she was seeing an example of what she doesn’t want for her future , but it reminded me that some day there will be different experiences and that my daughters will have each other and god willing me too to support their journey thru motherhood and beyond in all the right ways because we are learning so much together now for that future.

[@kimberlylynn4301]

Altho on his days off I should be fair- my husband drives a fair distance here and he does bring me food in bed and especially 3rd trimester I did lay around and he took care of the kids and did the house . I would feel guilty laying there knowing how hard he works and that he will get no rest then drive back and return to work- but I rested for the baby growing in me and for the kids for the remaining week so I’d have more of me for them. But I just realized when he would arrive to bring me food he would sneak it into me to bed so i could eat in peace , and he would do the house after they were asleep for the night so I just realized as per my daughters comment to me about her future husband , that she didn’t actually ever see him doing those things for me. Anyhow wanted to be fair and say that side of it but sharing this comment because I know a lot of moms watch this and automatically think - well I can’t rest I don’t have that luxury. And I understand this , but it helps to hold some self compassion for letting yourself mentally rest when you encounter some of your limitations and are unable to do it all.

Thank you for this video. I’m four days postpartum and I’ve been probably doing too much trying to keep the laundry done dishes done food made phone calls answered. And of course everything with my new baby right and on time and everything he needs. It is really a lot and today I went up the stairs from my basement after changing over laundry and felt ….not great. I realized I’m pushing myself too much. It’s just hard I guess to not do all the things. This video honestly made me tear up a bit. Thank you for sharing it ❤

Watching this one month post. First day released from hospital my MIL and husband expected me to still show up to the baby shower instead of canceling it or understanding I needed to rest and could not assist . From there of course I’ve been up and down cleaning and doing the most because I chose a horrible partner.

Find a job and divorce him. Don't worry about kids, they'll be understanding after growing up. Divorce him as soon as kids enter teen age. and support kids Emotionally. If you are worried about ending up lonely, don't worry you have your kids. Till then become rich as possible as you can.

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

Having a supportive partner or family member is absolutely a blessing. My husband and I made six weeks of freeze-ahead meals this time around, and other church members have been bringing meals as well. He makes sure our older two leave me and the baby alone while we are napping. He got me to the hospital with 15 minutes to spare when my water unexpectedly broke (in bed early in the morning). I was nervous I was going to have to give birth in his Mustang, but he reassured me the whole way, that the roads were clear and that even if I did have to give birth in the car, the seats could be replaced (haha, I think he plans to put lighter seats in anyway). He went home before the baby and I were discharged to clean our bed up, and did the dirty laundry that was in the baskets the day I went in to labor. He has been my biggest help so far, with my mom and my mother in law and our oldest son sick. With my other two births, my mother, mother in law, and my grandma came to help me and let me bond with the babies. This time around it's been only him, aside from the short times where I can help, but he's been doing the majority. Our new baby girl is so sweet and laid back, but wants to marathon nurse a lot so I don't get much else done these days (this is hard for me, I like to have my hands busy) That is to say i don't lay around being waited on hand and foot as that would drive me batty. I do what I'm able to do. He's really been amazing.

My mom always came to stay with us after my husband had to go back to work a week after I gave birth. He cooked, cleaned, did laundry so I could sleep and be with our newborn at the time. He needed to go back to work and she flew in every time (4 kids) she did the same like my husband and she stayed for a week. I would slowly take care of things like dishes but my husband would still cook and do laundry. I miss having a baby in my arms.

If you haven’t read the description, the red circle is representative of the wound where the placenta was previously attached. When the placenta is removed, the wound is left and it bleeds heavily and takes 6-8 weeks to heal! If you had a wound the size of a dinner plate on the outside of your stomach, a wound that is visible and bleeds as heavily, then women would be encouraged to rest, to look after themselves! Many cultures are wonderful at post partum care - however in the West there is an expectation for women to return to normal asap.
