For You | After Childbirth | Getting Into Shape | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    Most women want to get back into shape as soon as possible after having a baby. The idea of being able to fit into your pre-baby jeans or go out and buy yourself something new and clingy is a great incentive after months of lumbering around in baggy clothes.

For You | After Childbirth | Pelvic Floor Exercises | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    Many women find they leak urine especially after having a baby, and part of the reason could be weak pelvic floor muscles. Ideally, you should start these pelvic floor exercises while you are pregnant, if not before. Doing pelvic floor exercises helps your muscles to stretch during labour and spring back into shape afterwards.

For You | After Childbirth | Looking Good | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    During your pregnancy, you probably found that your hair was thicker and glossier than usual. After the birth, it may be a different story. If you seem to be losing a lot of hair, don't worry, this is quite normal and you are just returning to the volume you had before becoming pregnant.

For You | Well-Being After Childbirth | Up & About | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    Unless you have undergone a Caesarean section or had a traumatic vaginal delivery with a lot of stitches, there's usually no reason for you not to be able to get up and walk around shortly after you have given birth.

For You | After Childbirth | Pampering | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    It's amazing how relaxing an aromatherapy bath can be. Once your baby is fed and asleep, run yourself a bath with a few drops of your favourite essential oil and relax. Forget about the pile of ironing that needs to be done or the housework you didn't have time for: these things are not important.

For You | Body & Childbirth | Soreness | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    If you had tearing while giving birth, or had to have stitches or a caesarean section, then you may feel sore and have some pain for a while. It is important after the first few days that you look after any wounds that you have by bathing them regularly to keep them clean so that they can heal rapidly and effectively without infection.

For You | Body & Childbirth | Who is at risk of PND? | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    You may be more likely to become depressed postnatally if: New fathers can feel down after the birth, too, especially fathers who are estranged from the mother of their new baby, or under stress or whose partner is depressed. Having a baby changes your life suddenly and completely.

For You | Body & Childbirth | Baby Blues | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    It's fairly normal for women to have 'baby blues' (or 'third day blues') soon after giving birth as hormone levels fall dramatically, and as the reality of being a mother and starting a new way of life sets in.

For You | Your Body | Childbirth | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    During pregnancy and labour, your body undergoes enormous changes. Don't worry, you will be able to cope and very soon, you'll return to your normal physical state where each of these changes will merely be a distant memory. After giving birth, your body will experience several more physical changes.

For You | Your Well-Being After Childbirth | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    Giving birth can be a highly rewarding experience, although it may perhaps leave you completely drained and somewhat fazed for a while. After so many months of carrying your baby inside you, your pregnancy will have suddenly come to a dramatic and relatively quick close, leaving you with a baby that will almost certainly change your life.

For You | After Childbirth | Relaxation | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    Your new baby is the centre of your world and you'll be totally preoccupied with catering for his/her needs. Don't overlook your own needs, however. Feeling good about how you look is important, so make the time to pamper yourself a little - you deserve it.

  •  
    Yes, the hard part is over, but you can't say goodbye to those weird aches and pains just yet. Since the moment you conceived, you've been preparing - both physically and mentally - for labour. You've battled to comprehend the inevitable conclusion to your pregnant state and, well, your mind hasn't really gone any further than that.

For You | Relationships | Easing back into Sex | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    Some women resume a normal sex life soon after having their baby. Others, however, may be reluctant to have penetrative sex, or any other form of sex for a while, possibly for months. Losing interest in sex can be due to various reasons, including the fact you may be just plain tired and need time to recover from your childbirth.
