Did you experience these?

You’ve just given birth to a beautiful baby and you’re adjusting to being a new mum when you start feeling like you’re in labour all again.

Often referred to as after-pains, the contractions you experience after birth will also prevent you from losing too much blood.While you were pregnant, your uterus grew to 25 times the size it normally is to accommodate your growing baby. Once your baby has been born, it isn’t safe for your uterus to remain at this expanded size so your body starts a natural process known as involution.
