Gentle belly massage after a normal vaginal delivery helps your uterus shrink back to its normal size, lowers the risk of heavy bleeding, and eases trapped gas or constipation. It also boosts blood flow to healing tissues and relaxes tense abdominal muscles.
Main Benefits
Uterine shrinkage: Stimulates the muscles of the uterus to contract and clear out lingering lochia.
Bleeding control: Helps clamp down open blood vessels where the placenta was attached.
Better digestion: Relieves the bloating, gas, and slow bowels common after labor.
Relaxation: Lowers stress hormones and helps your body feel calm.
