If you had a vaginal birth then you know for sure what this tiny organ of yours had to go through and why postpartum care is going to be necessary. Your vagina which helped to expel the baby out of your womb has faced enough wear and tear and needs a little pampering to get normal. If you had an episiotomy sure you have to care for the scar so it heals on time, but we are not taking just about the scar but the organ itself that needs a lot of TLC. Here we tell you how to care for your vagina post a vaginal delivery.

Don’t use tampons: Vaginal bleeding or lochia after delivery is common. Use maternity pads specially designed to counter the heavy flow during this time. Even if you had used tampons pre-delivery don’t use it now. Post a vaginal birth your vagina might be sore and tender and a tampon will just make things worse. Instead, use pads to help your vagina recover faster.
