How To Heal Faster After Child Birth

Have you ever come across a woman who has just delivered her bundle of joy?
Behind the joy and laughter and celebrations in her eyes, you can't help but feel sorry for her for the pain she has gone through to make it possible. I know most men will ignore this but on the contrary, you should read this if you wish to get married someday and have kids as well.

The first pain that we will deal with because of its urgency, is the physical pain that comes with child birth. Several years back, i heard a woman being advised against braiding her hair before getting her baby. It was not logical to me but I later learned that during those excruciating labor pains, most women look for any sort of distraction to try and assume or even avoid feeling the pain. Some women pluck their hair one by one because they feel that i will lessen the pain that is going on in their belly's and backs as well. So to deal with such pain you have to give them a relaxing massage and rub their wounds , clean them with warm water and apply some antiseptic on them We tend to overlook the fact that giving birth is a partial madness and after it, the injuries are several and severe in some cases.
Nursing their wounds also makes them feel loved and appreciated and they don't feel isolated from the rest of the world.

The other wounds that also require nursing are those resulting from the actual act of giving birth itself. Those who give birth normally and those who are operated both go through these wounds. Have you heard of instances where some women develop wounds and diseases that result from being operated.

Taking care of the stitches requires a lot of care and attention and it must be done in a manner that will not cause pain or even other infections.Most mid wives would recommend the use of warm or hot salty water and even in hospitals they admit that this is the fastest way of dealing with the problem so who am i to dispute it.

There is then the other pain.I don't know whether to call it emotional or paranoia? Okay let me briefly explain it. Some women after delivering their babies can't stop crying and they can cry for hours and you can assume that it is not such a big deal but i do know that it can cause serious problem to the mother baby bond that was established during pregnancy. Babies don't like seeing their mothers sad. They can feel it and they will usually cry when they feel their mothers are sad. Who wants to stay awake all night with the mother and child crying. I think the best method of dealing with such a condition is to talk to the woman and tell her what a wonderful work she has done, tell how lovely the baby is and make her feel that now the struggle is over. Don't start being the prophet of doom and start narrating how small babies cry all night. No be positive and make her feel happy.

The other pain which i think needs healing is the self esteem of the woman. Most women gain weight instantly and find it impossible to shed it off. You know also that they have huge appetite which makes the healing much difficult. You need to go to the gym and exercise because lack of physical exercise cannot help in releasing the fats in a woman's body. She needs to run errands and walk. Go out and socialize and not just sit in the house eating and watching TV, this might lead to obesity so it's better safe than sorry.Self esteem ca be healed by reading books that are motivational and those that talk more about self worth so this process should not be taken lightly. You don't need to see a psychologist to tell you how to be strong within. You are strong and with the right company, you can be even better than you were before giving birth and mostly this part relates more to single mothers and students who get early pregnancies.

Last but not least, a woman needs to get used to having a baby besides her very night and even day, so she need to maintain good hygiene and that of the child as well. I have heard that most babies know how their mothers smell and they can tell the difference with any stranger. So let your baby have a good picture of the mother and not the opposite. You must also note that these are not exhaustive because experiences differ from woman to woman and these are just my own observations.
