While postpartum healing is a process, and most people need some time before they feel “back to normal,” there’s one health care provider you should visit to support healing and lessen pain and discomfort.

After weekly medical check-ins at the end of pregnancy, most people won’t see a health care provider until six weeks postpartum. At that point, if it looks like healing is proceeding well, they are officially “cleared” to have sex and exercise again.

Following delivery, the focus tends to shift to the baby’s health (how much are they eating, sleeping or crying?) and away from the person who gave birth. Common postpartum physical complaints such as incontinence or pain in the back, pelvis or genitals are often written off as par for the course, as though pregnancy and birth are expected to do some damage to the body.
