#3- You May Have Trouble Walking
If you had an epidural this is especially true. It takes a while for the epidural to wear off. If you have a c-section you also will have had an epidural. C-sections are major surgeries and will take a while to recover. Even if you had a natural childbirth, you may have trouble walking (I’m sure I don’t have to explain why). Not only will there be pain, I promise you will be exhausted. Take time to rest and stay off your feet. Walking too much after childbirth can not only be painful, but could cause more bleeding.
