During normal birth, the vagina widens and the cervix becomes approximately 10 cm wide and thinner in order for your baby to be born. In particular, the vessels entering and exiting the uterus, especially the placental vessels, which nourish your baby and provide blood flow to the uterus for a healthy pregnancy, widen significantly. In general, in those who give birth normally, the cervix is observed as a transverse oval, but in those who give birth by cesarean section, this situation is observed as round, like in those who have not given birth. Ultimately, the cervix, which becomes thinner during birth, closes rapidly after birth and may take up to the 6th week to fully recover. However, the cervix never returns to its previous state.
After normal birth, with the expansion of the woman's vagina, sagging of the inner and outer lips may occur. Although it is not enough to negatively affect a woman's sexual life, it can negatively affect both her urination functions and her sexual life after birth, especially in multiple pregnancies. Therefore, vaginal tightening operations, which is a very simple procedure, can be performed to solve the problem. This situation can relieve the woman both physiologically and psychologically. The color change in the vaginal area reaches its previous appearance up to 10 days after birth.
The amount of weight you gain during your pregnancy is very important. Ideally, the expectant mother who gains 10 to 12 kilos will not have much difficulty in regaining her former shape. Because, after normal birth, the weight she gained for 9 months suddenly decreases. After this stage, it is very important to have a balanced diet. In particular, carbohydrate intake should be restricted. In addition, the resumption of menstruation after normal birth occurs between the 6th and 8th weeks in non-breastfeeding women. However, this period may be later in breastfeeding women and breastfeeding does not always prevent ovulation. Because what you need to pay attention to is that women can get pregnant even without menstruation.
