#1 – Your body will be swollen
If you deliver your baby naturally, you should expect plenty of swelling and inflammation in your precious vajayjay. Many women find this quite painful, so you need to be prepared to deal with it.
For example, you can ask for ice packs at the hospital. Ice can reduce pain by decreasing the amount of swelling and inflammation that new moms often experience.
Also, your doctor may prescribe local or topical medicines to help minimize perineal discomfort. So make sure to choose the best type of therapy for you and remember to sit on a soft pillow for more comfort.
