Postpartum

Georgina and Ronaldo have been parents last November 12 of a girl they called Alana Martina, a name that already aims to become a trend for 2018. Last Monday, the mother decided to start again with her fitness routine, so she went to the gym of his partner, and there he made a video that went up to his Instagram profile in which he is seen doing exercises with balls.

Today I am writing to you, you just became a mother for the first time. Or maybe you are a mother for the second or third time, but you had forgotten what it was like to live the postpartum stage. Those first weeks we found ourselves being different from the woman we used to be, and we are meeting the little human being who is now a member of our family.

Since pregnancy, our body goes through a series of monumental changes. It is a gradual process that goes along with the growth of our baby in the womb, a path that may be full of some discomfort, but that is certainly also a magical journey that culminates with the arrival of a new being into the world .

Postpartum depression is a real problem that thousands of mothers suffer in silence, some for fear of being criticized or judged. Why does this happen? Are there factors that increase the chance of getting it? A new study found that gestational age, body mass index, as well as the time of the year in which babies are born, could influence the chances of the mother suffering from postpartum depression.

Stretch marks are often seen as an imperfection of the skin, something unpleasant that aesthetics strives to make disappear. But on the other hand, there are women who accept them naturally and even love them for being a beautiful memory of their pregnancies. There are also those who take these brands to another level, as does the Pakistani artist Sara Shakeel, who decorates stretch marks with glitter to send a positive message about these marks on the skin of women.

When we imagine a birth, probably the most important moments or the ones we usually see in the photographs come to mind: during labor, the moment when the mother looks at or receives her baby for the first time and the photograph when They are resting together. But there are also other moments, perhaps not as flashy, but equally significant and important.

The changes that our body goes through after pregnancy and childbirth are usually quite drastic. Seeing how our body left its usual size to make room for the creation of a new life is something that amazes us. However, after so many changes, our body is not the same and it is something that makes many women feel insecure.

He is very still, will he still breathe? Will I have buckled the car seat correctly? Has something been swallowed at this moment in which I was not looking? If you are a father or mother, you have been assaulted at some point by these concerns. The most common is that you check if you have done it and do not give more turns but, what happens when we are not able to stop thinking about these things?

Currently talking about postpartum depression is no longer a taboo thanks to the presence of more blogs of mothers who tell their story, as well as celebrities who openly declare that they suffer or went through it. However, despite all the information that is shared and that more and more support is shown towards those who suffer from it, many women still hide it.

After becoming a mother, the woman's body is not the same as before. It is one of the changes that motherhood brings us and we must learn, little by little, to accept and love each other in that new body. It does not mean that you have to abandon yourself, at all, but to assume the change that has occurred and find a way to start feeling comfortable in your skin.

After delivery, the vaginal area becomes inflamed and sore. As a friend would say, as if they had given you a right hand with a boxing glove, an inelegant, but quite accurate comparison. If you have also had an episiotomy and have been given points, the area is also especially sensitive.

Although for each mother it is different, the postpartum can become a very difficult, confusing and heavy stage. We are recovering from a delivery or caesarean section while at the same time we must take care of a newborn. It is certainly a time when all the help we can get is very useful.

Pregnancy does not have to mean a break in sexual relations of the couple, in fact, if there is no risk, practicing sex during pregnancy has many benefits. However, after delivery, not everything is rosy and having sex again after having a baby can be complicated.

There are parents who hire help for the care of their newborn babies, especially during night hours to rest for a few hours. These professionals are known as salus and many wonder what a salus is and what services it offers. Is a salus the same as a babysitter? Why has this figure reached such a boom in recent years?

A cesarean scar is not a simple mark on the skin; It's much more than that. It is the signal that has left the birth of your baby and that sometimes removes very deep feelings in women who have given birth in this way. There are women who get tattoos on the caesarean scar, either because they want to hide it or, on the contrary, because they consider it a way to embellish it and pay homage to their motherhood.

Postpartum is a very delicate stage that every future mother faces with fear. But it is one of those moments in which, perhaps because the baby is going to give us the strength we need (no matter how tired we are), we will soon overcome the difficulties that come our way. Matter of survival, and strength.

Photographers Aimee and Jenna Hobbs, passionate about motherhood, are responsible for these very special photo sessions they have titled 'A Mother's Beauty'. Each summer they gather a group of women dressed only in underwear and their children, to celebrate the beauty of their mother's bodies.

Kathy DiVicenzo is the mother of two children and has been diagnosed with postpartum depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. Far from hiding, he has been brave to make a condition that affects many women visible. Kathy realized that the "ideal life" photos of her Facebook, in which everything was smiles despite being going through a dark moment, did not represent her real life.

After delivery there is bleeding that is abundant in the first three days and although then decreases, it can spread several weeks. In obstetrics, this hemorrhage is known as postpartum lochia. It is a natural physiological process in which the body removes the remains of the uterine lining that have formed during pregnancy, as well as placental remains, cervical mucus and the secretions produced by healing the wound left by the placenta after expulsion.

The arrival of a child in the world is always a source of emotion, but more so when a couple has been fighting with infertility for years and finally their long-awaited desire to become parents is fulfilled. Hunter Madden and his wife, had long tried to have a baby (treatments, inductions, etc.) and when they finally got it they suffered a miscarriage.
