Although your new baby will probably give you intense emotional satisfication, you may well be physically uncomfortable. Your body has gone through many changes during pregnancy and it will take a while for it to return to its pre-pregancy state.

Six weeks after the birth your doctor will examine you to make sure that everything  is returning to normal; this also gives you a chance to discuss any worries you may have. The doctor will take your blood pressure and check a sample of your urine. Your breasts and abdomen will be examined and the doctor will make sure that any stiches have healed properly.

If your body was born in the hospital, a midwife or doctor will probably talk to you about contraception before you go home. Alternatively, you can discuss this at your six-week check. Don’t take any risks; to avoid getting pregnant again you should use contraception as soon as you resume intercourse. It is an old wives tale that breast-feeding prevents conception.
