What is postpartum recovery?
Postpartum recovery is the healing period after giving birth, as your body recovers from pregnancy and delivery. This includes changes like bleeding, soreness, hormonal shifts, and fatigue. Every mum’s recovery looks different, and it’s normal to need time and extra support.

What is postpartum care?
Postpartum care refers to the physical and emotional support you need after delivery - managing bleeding and discomfort, resting, hydration, breastfeeding support, and mental wellbeing. Having the right essentials at home can make recovery feel calmer and more comfortable.

How long will postpartum bleeding (lochia) last?
Normal postpartum bleeding usually lasts around 4 to 6 weeks. The heaviest bleeding, called lochia, lasts for the first two to four days after giving birth - it’s your body’s natural way of cleansing and renewing after birth, gradually lightening over time. If bleeding becomes suddenly heavy again, has large clots, or comes with fever or dizziness, seek medical advice.

What should I prepare for my c-section recovery?
Before your c-section surgery, prepare supportive essentials like high-waist postpartum underwear, maternity pads, comfortable loose clothing, silicone scar patches, scar gel, and gentle pain relief as advised by your doctor. Prioritise rest, avoid heavy lifting, and keep everything you need within easy reach.

How long does it take for my c-section wound to heal?
A caesarean section, or C-section, is a major operation where a surgical incision is made through 5 layers to gain access to your uterus. Most c-section incisions heal on the outside within about 4–6 weeks, but deeper healing can take longer, mending quietly over the next few months. Be kind to your body as it finds its strength again.

How do I prevent getting a c-section scar?
A c-section scar is a normal part of healing, but you can support smoother recovery by keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding friction, and protecting the incision from sun exposure once healed. Always check with your doctor before using any silicone scar patches, scar gels or treatments.

Do I have postpartum depression?
It’s normal to feel emotional after birth, but if you’ve been feeling persistently sad, anxious, or detached, it may be postpartum depression. Reach out for help and remember, needing support doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human.
