Your recovery — like your pregnancy — is unique to you. There is not a one-size-fits-all timeline to postpartum. But there is a general timeline of what you can expect. Some of the things you can expect in the hours and days immediately after birth are: Your uterus needs to shrink back to its usual size. This causes cramps and vaginal bleeding. Your provider may even massage your uterus through your belly to help it get smaller. Hormonal shifts. This can cause symptoms like hot flashes, changes to your mood and headaches. Breast engorgement. Your breasts will produce milk, and even if you choose not to breastfeed, you will have painful and swollen breasts. Perineal soreness. It is normal to have pain in the space between your vagina and anus (butthole) if you gave birth vaginally. Up to 70% of people have some degree of vaginal tearing during childbirth. People who have a C-section will feel extra sore around the incision site for a few days. Swelling from extra fluids. This is typically normal and your body’s way of getting rid of fluid you accumulate during pregnancy. Your swelling should go down within a week. When swelling comes with symptoms like chest pain and trouble breathing, it could be a sign of something more serious. Fatigue. Labor, childbirth and caring for a newborn may introduce you to a new level of exhaustion. Feeling tired for the days and weeks after you give birth is very normal. Trying to rest as much as you can whenever possible will help you feel better. What are the three stages of postpartum? Postpartum can be categorized into three phases: the acute phase, the subacute phase, and the delayed phase. Acute phase: This is the first six to 12 hours after you give birth. You are most likely to experience conditions like eclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, and certain medical emergencies during this time. Your care will include things like your provider monitoring your blood pressure, heart rate and bleeding, and checking you for excess swelling. Subacute phase: This phase begins around 24 hours after birth and lasts for about two to six weeks. Your body is still changing, but you are less likely to experience a medical emergency. Some of the concerns your provider may have during this period include cardiomyopathy, postpartum depression and symptoms related to urinary incontinence. Delayed phase: This phase lasts from about six weeks postpartum until six months postpartum. Changes during this phase are gradual and consist of your muscles and tissues returning to their pre-pregnancy state. Your healthcare provider may treat you for conditions like pelvic floor dysfunction, painful sex and uterine prolapse in the delayed phase.
What are normal symptoms of postpartum? You go through significant changes in the postpartum period. A lot of them happen naturally due to hormone changes. Symptoms can be physical, emotional or a combination of both. Physical symptoms Physical symptoms in the postpartum affect your body — things like what it does, what it looks like and how it feels. Some of the most common physical symptoms in postpartum are Soreness and pain in your perineum: Your perineum is the space between your vagina and anus. This area stretches, and sometimes tears, during vaginal childbirth. Your entire perineal area may be sore, swollen and tender for weeks after childbirth. Sitting on a pillow, squirting warm water to rinse the area, and using a cold sanitary pad are ways to help with this discomfort. Vaginal discharge: Lochia is the name for the vaginal bleeding you will have after giving birth (even if you had a C-section). It begins red and tapers off to brown before it ends as a light brown discharge. This entire process can last up to six weeks. Remember, wear a pad to catch vaginal bleeding after childbirth (no tampons). Uterus involution: This is the medical term for your uterus shrinking back to its pre-pregnancy size. The entire process can take up to six weeks, but it begins almost immediately after your baby is born. You can also expect to feel afterbirth pains (or strong cramps) while this happens. Most of the intense pains go away after a few days, but they can also feel more intense during breastfeeding. Breast engorgement and nipple pain: You can expect swollen and painful breasts for at least a few days or longer (if you breastfeed). Some people need the help of a lactation consultant to help with painful symptoms of breastfeeding like cracked nipples. Sweating: Your hormones shift dramatically almost immediately after you give birth. It is common to sweat more, especially at night. It is a normal symptom that should subside within a week or two. Constipation: Being unable to poop after childbirth is a normal symptom in the postpartum period. If you had an epidural, this could slow down your bowels and make it harder to poop. Sometimes, the fear of pushing to poop leads to constipation. Some healthcare providers recommend stool softeners after you give birth to help. Hemorrhoids are also common in the postpartum period. C-section recovery: If you have stitches due to a C-section, your skin will take up to 10 days to heal. The deeper stitches can take up to 12 weeks to heal completely. Watch for signs of infection like pus seeping from the incision or having a fever. Hair loss: Losing your hair is a common occurrence in the postpartum period, mostly due to hormones. Emotional symptoms: Emotional symptoms in the weeks and months after childbirth involve anything that affects your mind, your stress level, or your body image. Baby blues: Baby blues is feeling sad and teary after giving birth. While these new feelings can take you by surprise, they tend to go away after a few weeks. Postpartum depression: This is a type of depression that causes extreme sadness and despair in the weeks and months after childbirth. Unlike the baby blues, this does not go away and often involves treatment with medication or behavioral therapy. Postpartum anxiety: Excessive worrying that occurs after having a baby is called postpartum anxiety. It can be accompanied by physical symptoms like losing sleep or heart palpitations. Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety can often come together. Treatment for postpartum anxiety can also involve medication or behavioral therapy. Weight loss: Your body went through lots of changes during pregnancy and childbirth. It is common to have loose skin and stretch marks, and stress about extra weight around your hips or belly. Try to relax and give yourself time to recover. You will lose between 10 and 20 pounds before you leave the hospital. Focus on eating nutritious foods and taking care of yourself. Remember that your body has just been through a lot. Postpartum: Stages, Symptoms & Recovery Time (clevelandclinic.org)

The antispasmodic action of cramp bark is beneficial for women who have gone through childbirth. The herb helps reduce muscle tension without inhibiting muscle function. It also relieves after-birth cramps and regulates heavy bleeding, preventing excessive blood loss. Next, we added Skullcap. Skullcap is another herb in the nervine category. This herb helps to decrease stress and anxiety and helps with sleep issues, especially when insomnia is due to worry and nervous irritability (hello, postpartum!). Shepard’s purse is traditionally used for its hemostatic properties, which can help control bleeding. For postpartum mothers experiencing prolonged or heavy bleeding, shepherd’s purse tea may offer support. Nettles because it is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium. It is believed to support the body in replenishing lost nutrients during childbirth. Nettle is known for its potential to boost energy levels and promote overall well-being, including the immune system. Red raspberry because it is believed to tone the uterus and support the reproductive system. Red raspberry leaf has been used for generations to support women during and after pregnancy. Rich in essential nutrients like iron and calcium, it helps replenish the body and may aid in postpartum recovery. Its astringent qualities can also assist in toning the pelvic muscles. It is also one of the herbs for childbirth and the best tea for postpartum. Finally, we added Catnip. Catnip is known for its calming and relaxing properties, which can be beneficial during the postpartum period1. It is often used in teas to help new mothers relax and unwind, which is crucial for recovery. Catnip can also help with sleep, which is often disrupted after childbirth.
