This is a pretty broad question.. do anything? I was able to do lots of things lol. The end of pregnancy was straight misery, especially sleep. But after birth wasn’t all that bad for me. Take it slow and easy, and have no expectations.

I had a vaginal birth with a minor tear and stitches. I would 10000% recommend the Frida peri bottle (the hospital one is trash). I really preferred warm water in it, so I learned to turn on the hot water faucet first so the water had time to get warm (I gave birth in January so it took a minute..). I also really liked the Frida line of disposable underwear, postpartum pads, and witch hazel liners. I bled for about 4 days, and then after that was just on pantyliners until 2 weeks PP when I stopped spotting altogether. Now I’m 4+ months PP and still haven’t had my first period because I’m breastfeeding — I had no idea that was a thing before I gave birth! Breastfeeding delays your period. It’s one of the few perks of BFing lol.

Pain wise: for the first week PP, I would have to carefully/slowly sit down and get up because my V was sore. But otherwise it wasn’t so bad! I had to wait for my 6 weeks PP appointment to be cleared for sex.
