Maternity women, look here! This is how you “recharge” after giving birth

Women often complain that since pregnancy, childbirth and raising a baby, their body shape has never returned to normal. Not only that, although they take a lot of nutritional supplements, problems such as back pain, retroverted uterus and even menstrual disorders still follow. Experts point out that childbirth can cause damage to the uterus, vagina, and pelvic floor muscles. If left untreated, it will definitely bring hidden dangers to future life and make one susceptible to gynecological diseases. Experts suggest that if conditions permit, new mothers can practice postpartum yoga twice a week starting one month after delivery. This is very helpful in promoting the healing of cesarean section wounds and the restoration of "youth" to the uterus. The following simple yoga moves are particularly suitable for postpartum practice and can effectively reduce and prevent the discomfort and dysfunction caused by pregnancy and childbirth.
