Of Delivery and Postpartum Pressures and Stress.

First Photo with Mommy.

No doubt, giving birth is extremely exhausting physically and the stress continues until the postpartum recovery phase. I remember twenty four hours after I gave birth to Asher, I was so pressured to pee and remove my bowel. If unable to do so, I won't be discharged on the next day and worse, they'll put on catheter on me to empty my bladder. A urinary catheter is used in labor and delivery and is usually given to Moms who receive medications like epidural anesthesia or have a cesarean section. I delivered via NSD and had epidural but before they could put on a catheter on me, I conditioned my body to pee on my own and endured the pain. I'm aware how catheters can be painful when inserted. Even though I saw from Allegro Medical, the leading online retailer of life enhancing products in the United States, that there are different types of catheters and perhaps there are those that don't pain much when inserted, I mustered all my strength to empty my bladder the natural way. I was so relieved that I managed to pass this phase and as my doctor promised, I was discharged the next day.

Speaking of Allegro Medical, it's comforting to know that anyone can readily and easily order home health care supplies and other consumer retail products in just one click.
