Hi Spaqe,
I hope you see this message soon. On today’s topic on giving birth, I am a mother of 4. Everything mentioned there has and is still affecting me up until now, 2 years after giving birth to my last born. But for the past one or so month I discovered a lady on the Instagram app, her handle is Female Physio Co. (https://www.instagram.com/femalephysioco/), she does the pelvic muscles/floor exercises (kegels) and I have to say that in just few weeks my pee holds and is not leaking as it used to plus I can feel a difference with the pelvic. Maybe it will be of help to other mums who especially cannot afford the reconstruction surgery.
The key is to be consistent, personally, I put a reminder whenever she comes on so that we do it together.

Nobody tells women, but you need a couple of weeks of physio to realign the hips and spine after giving birth.

The pain someone feels when the uterus is returning to it’s normal state. My goodness, that pain 😞.
Women should be respected and loved for the sacrifices they make. We not only bring something to the table, we definitely are the table.
God bless you all.

I struggle with memory loss. When I meet people, they often think I’m ignoring them, but the truth is, I can hardly even remember their names. I also really struggled with postpartum depression.

What Are Some Side Effects Of Giving Birth?
Common postpartum complications
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), common causes of pregnancy-related deaths are:
- Diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels, called cardiovascular diseases.
- Other medical conditions often present before childbirth.
- A serious infection such as sepsis.
- Heavy bleeding after giving birth, called hemorrhage.
- A disease of the heart muscle called cardiomyopathy. This condition makes it hard for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body.
- A blockage in one of the blood vessels in the lungs that carry blood from the heart to the lungs. Blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs, called thrombotic pulmonary embolism, often are the cause of the blockage.
- Stroke.
- High blood pressure, called hypertension, or high blood pressure linked with protein spilled into the urine during pregnancy, called preeclampsia.
- A rare condition that happens when the fluid that surrounds the baby during pregnancy, called amniotic fluid, or fetal material such as fetal cells enters a pregnant person’s bloodstream. This is called amniotic fluid embolism.
- Problems with the medicines used to prevent pain during delivery or surgery, called anesthetic.
Sometimes the cause of a pregnancy-related death is not known.
How To Prevent Postpartum Problems
Your health should be one of your main concerns after childbirth. Start thinking about your postpartum care plan before you give birth. Talk with your healthcare professional about that plan.
After childbirth, talk to your healthcare professional about your risk of a pregnancy-related complication. Your risk might be higher if you had a problem during pregnancy such as gestational diabetes or high blood pressure. Your risk also may be higher if you had a cesarean birth. Ask about special care you may need. Learn the symptoms of problems that you could have.
