What bodily changes can I immediately expect after giving birth?

It is normal after having a baby (including Caesars) to bleed for 3–6 weeks — surprisingly large amounts at first (needing to replace a maternity sanitary pad every few hours for the first 24–48 hours). Your first post-delivery pee can seem to take ages to come out. But it’s nothing to be worried about, just relax and sit there patiently. After having a baby, the movement of faeces through your relaxed bowels is still slow, plus the digestive tract muscles are stretched and potentially traumatised from bruising.  Additionally, if you are not consuming adequate water to replenish your production of breastmilk you could quite quickly become constipated. About two-thirds of us experience the loathsome war wound of haemorrhoids in pregnancy, during birth or within a day or so of delivery.
