Patient's question:
I am 30 years old this year, just had a baby, and gave birth naturally. Please ask; how long after a natural birth is it normal to have a bowel movement?Doctor's answer:
Normal delivery is always normal. It's okay to get up and walk around within two hours after giving birth, and recovery gradually speeds up postpartum. You can get off the bed and start walking the same day. Generally, you can be discharged from the hospital within 3-5 days, and the cost is relatively low.2. You can have a bowel movement immediately after giving birth and can breastfeed.
3. There is only an episiotomy wound.
4. There are fewer complications.
5. For the baby, the lungs are exercised as they pass through the birth canal, and the skin's nerve endings are stimulated, leading to better development of the nervous and sensory systems. The expansion of the body's various functions is also better.
6. The abdomen recovers quickly, and you can gradually return to your original flat stomach.
