When do I start feeling normal again? It's been a week after giving birth and I know it takes six weeks to completely heal but is it normal to still feel the heaviness, pain, and soreness? I can hardly stand😩😥. I love my baby and I'll do this a million times over for him but I wasn't prepared for this lol! I didn't know this type of after pain even existed. All of that research on pregnancy and none on after birth🤔😑
