We know that giving birth is both exciting and exhausting and having a self-care routine is almost impossible. However, we also believe that you need it as much as your new baby does. So here are a few more easy self-care tips after birth:
Don’t skip follow-up checkups with your physician. If you’re having a hard time going out, ask if you can have your appointments online.
Rest. I can’t emphasize enough how important this is but we also know that it’s a difficult task to do. However, if you can, get some shut-eye whenever your baby’s asleep, too. If it’s possible, ask for help from your partner or another family member, and they can take care of the baby for you so you can have a quick rest.
Have a healthy lifestyle. I know this is another challenge to take but putting attention to the food you eat as well as staying active can help you cope up with postpartum discomforts. There’s no need to do strenuous workouts; walking daily is enough to distress and boost your energy levels.
Above all, find a mommy support group! Having another person or people who understand (or at least have an idea) of what you’re going through can help you lighten up the load.
