Dealing with little problems after labor

Little problems like constipation may occur after having given birth. This especially hurts if you've had an episiotomy during labor. If so, drink a lot, walk often and don't take any laxatives unless your doctor tells you to.
Don't wait too long to go to the toilet as chances are it will hurt more after.
If you've had an episiotomy during labor, put water on the scar and dry with a hairdryer.
Make sure you've got comfortable cushions (even blow up ones if necessary) so that it's not painful sitting down.
