Postpartum recovery: What to expect?
in Women's Health ·
Hey moms, hope everyone’s doing good. I gave birth about three and a half weeks ago to a pretty big baby—over 9 pounds. It was a rough one, too. Had an epidural, some tearing, had to have some manual cleaning done because the placenta didn't come out all at once, and dealt with some postpartum bleeding issues... basically just total chaos. I was bleeding for about two weeks, but now it's just some occasional yellowish discharge. Honestly, I'm feeling pretty low. Whenever I stand up or try to sit down, it feels like everything is just hanging out there 🥱 like 🤣 and when I'm standing, there's this weird pressure in my butt or pelvic area, I can't even tell which. It's really getting to me. Is this normal after a rough delivery? How did you guys feel?
