Taking time for rest and recovery after birth is so important for new mums. Let us look at some ways that you can aid your recovery after birth.
Lots of fiber and water will help ease any constipation and digestive discomfort. If you are breastfeeding, it is a good idea to increase your water intake to stay hydrated.
Don't be afraid to ask for help after giving birth. As well as having a new-born to look after, your body needs time to heal. Ask your partner, friends or family to help with looking after the baby, household chores or cooking meals while you rest or do something for yourself.

Use this time to help your body heal and allow your mind to rest by having a warm bath, going for a short walk or taking a nap. Each day can be different depending on what your body needs.
