Most caregivers recommend around six weeks recovery time after a vaginal birth, which is more or less the same for a cesarean delivery. In both instances, the uterus needs to get back to its postpartum size; and no matter your baby’s exit route, there’s some skin and muscle that needs to heal.
One Pregnancy & Baby expert tells us, “I evaluate my cesarean section patients one week and four weeks after delivery. Typically, by four weeks, most women can resume nearly normal activity, including sexual intercourse.” (Read more in Resuming sex after cesarean.) In addition, the ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) states the following:
Most women will need about 4 to 6 weeks after delivery to heal. Women who have had a cesarean delivery may take a little longer to heal before their ob-gyn gives the green light for sexual activity. It is fine to resume sex after the cervix has closed (usually around 4 weeks after delivery) and as soon as intercourse is comfortable, but the healing process should be complete to avoid hurting fragile tissues. Some women, however, may find that they don’t have much interest in sex after giving birth due to fatigue, stress, fear of pain, lack of opportunity and/or lack of desire. This is usually temporary, though.
So, basically, if your caregiver signs off on it after an exam and you feel ready to give it a go, enjoy. Yes, it will feel a little different — but that’s a topic for another article! (Just be sure to use plenty of lubricant and take it nice and slow.)

A Dance in the Forest
In a very big forest there lived many animals and birds. One day the some of the birds were discussion about the way the animals live.
The parrot said, “Look at me I do not eat any bird or animal I just like fruits and eat them all the time. I hate looking at these animals as they hunt other animals and eat them”. I feel that we the birds are the best in the forest as we do not eat other birds for our survival”.
Many birds agreed to this argument and narrated their own opinions:
The sparrow said: I eat the small insects that do harm to others that does not mean that I am like these animals who kill all other good animals.
The woodpecker said: See I protect trees by eating the white ants under their bark.
If I do not do so many trees would have been eaten away by these white ants and other insects.
The weaver bird: You are aware that I am the best in the forest in making the nest.
Show me any animal that can do like me.
These animals are lazy and live like rocks in all seasons.
The humming bird said: I drink the nectar from the flowers and while doing so I do not harm the flowers. If help in pollination and make the forest look colourful with many flowers.
Thus many birds narrated their own stories and ways of living. Meanwhile they saw a herd of elephants passing under the trees.
The parrot yelled at them: Hey big beasts do you know that birds are the best ones in the forest. You animals destroy forest, eat other animals and create bloodshed for your survival.
One of the elephants responded by saying : I do not know what you are talking but I can tell this to other animals as I am going to attend the meeting called by the Lion.
The Lion – the king of the forest – is sitting on a big rock surrounded by many animals.
The meeting began with the topic “How shall we celebrate the onset of sprint”.
Then the elephant intervened and said: we feel that we are the great in the forest.
I heard a parrot saying that the birds are the best because they do not eat other birds for their own survival.
Lets first solve this problem and by deciding who is the best in the forest, the birds are we the animals.
All the animals got irritated at the statement of the parrot shared by the elephant.
The wolf said: Lets call the birds here and we all can kill them and eat them at once then there is no problem. Haa Haaa joined the other animals.
Cool down: said the Lion. If the birds feel that they are the best in the forest, we shall allow them to prove. They said that they do not eat other birds but it is false.
They do eat other birds for their survival. You are aware that the eagles are always on the look out for chicks of hens and peahens. They eat mercilessly all the chicks. Birds are fools and incapable creatures.
I pity them. Lets play with them for some time and prove our might. Dear fox, call all the birds at once here.
The fox approached the mangrove and yelled at the birds. You seem to be having a feeling that you are the best in the forest.
Lets us prove who is best in the forest. All of you can come to our meeting place near the lake and prove yourselves.
Hearing this the birds felt challenged. All of them flew towards the meeting place.
In the meeting place the most heated arguments took place.
Seeing the heat generated, the Lion said. Meeting is adjourned to tomorrow in the morning and asked all the animals and birds to disburse.
In the evening the grand old man who often visits forest and help animals and birds by treating them came to the meeting place and asked some of the birds still sitting there:
I heard a commotion in the afternoon what happened to you all. I heard the loud sounds of animals and birds too. Do you have any problem and can I be of any help to you?
The birds said: we had problem to solve between the birds and the animals. We shall prove who is best in the forest.
We argue we are the best but they argue as cruelly as they can for their superiority. It is good that you have come. Why don’t you come for the meeting tomorrow and help us.
The grand old man said Ok, I shall come tomorrow.
The next day morning all the birds and the animals gathered at the meeting place. The grand old man took some time to arrive.
His arrival was welcomed by the Lion who was once save by the grand old man. Dear grand old man I am glad that you are here, hear all our arguments and tell us who is the best in the forest.
Both the sides amply briefed the grand old man.
The birds and the animals became silent and await the judgment of the grand old man.
The grand old man said: The argument of the birds that they do not eat other birds is both wrong and write.
So in the arguments the birds and the animals both win and lose.
That makes the problem nil. The birds and animals got confused at this. Seeing their faces particularly of the Lion’s the grand old man clarified it further:
Though the hens and pen hens come under the family of birds they live mostly on the ground and they do not fly for their survival they run for their survival so actually come under the family of animals.
The chicks of the birds also do not fly they just run on the ground so they are also animals. Since Eagles eat these chicks it amounts to eating other birds for their survival like the animals do. Which means birds eat and do not eat other birds for their survival.
Most important thing is this: If the animals like Lion, tiger, cheetah, fox and wolf do not eat other animals like sheep, goat, etc the population of these grass eating animals increase making the forest dry and difficult for all to survive.
Similarly the birds help in pollination and cross-pollination, propagation of trees and help add beauty to the forest. The forest becomes dull without any one of you.
So neither the birds nor the animals are best in the forest, the forest itself is the best because it gives us food, shelter and protection from the human beings.
Hearing this the Lion said: what a brilliant man are you my dear grand old man.
I agree with you that it is the forest that is the best. The birds do chirped the same opinion.
Then the squirrel said: this is the best time to celebrate the onset of spring. Lets dance….
All the animals danced and make merry…..

Brad Pitt Describes His Life As Chaotic & Joyful
“It’s chaos at times, but there’s such joy in the house,” Brad, 45, told Britain’s Daily Telegraph.
“I look and there’s our boy from Vietnam [Pax, 5] and our daughter from Ethiopia [Zahara, 3], and our girl was born in Namibia [Shiloh, 2], and our son is from Cambodia [Maddox, 7], and they’re brothers and sisters, man. They’re brothers and sisters and it’s a sight for elation.” Not to mention twins Knox and Vivienne, born last July in France. “We were four before, and we got into our rhythms and it worked. Then someone new comes in, and it discombobulates the movements for a moment, but then you settle in again and it just all works,” he told the paper.
“Everyone’s pretty well integrated. It’s not the first time new kids have come in. “We have the capability to give a child a home, and let me tell you it’s selfish, too, because the reward has been extraordinary.”
And the twins have been a tremendous blessing as well.
“One seemed simple, and it’s just double the fun. It’s surprising how soon their personalities have started emerging. But it’s really important that everyone gets their individual time as well as group time together,” he said.
“Angelina and I are together because we can enhance each other,” said Brad. “I don’t want to waste any time because I’m with company I really, really love.”

Jessica Alba was snapped enjoying a sunny afternoon outing with her 6-month-old daughter Honor Marie at a park near her Beverly Hills mansion in Los Angeles.
Angelina’s Obstetrician Shares That The Twins Are ‘So Cute’
Angelina Jolie brought her twins into the world on Shabbat.
That fact may have been overlooked last Saturday by the thousands of media outlets covering the birth, which took place at Lenval Hospital’s Santa Maria Clinic.
But the timing did not escape Dr. Michel Sussmann, Angelina’s Jewish obstetrician.
“The delivery was very emotional and exceptional as Ms. Jolie is a superstar, but I think that it happened on Shabbat made it that much more moving,” Dr. Michel Sussmann said during an exclusive interview with JTA.
Angelina Jolie’s twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline are “so cute,” Dr. Michel Sussmann, told The Jewish Journal Tuesday.
“It was not an easy operation – a second cesarean with twins is difficult – but it went perfectly,” he said of the cesarean he performed to deliver the two five-pound babies Saturday at the Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France.
Brad Pitt cut the umbilical cord.
“The delivery was very emotional and exceptional as Ms. Jolie is a superstar, but I think that it happened on Shabbat [Saturday] made it that much more moving,” Dr. Michel Sussmann said.
“Jolie and Pitt were always laughing and having a good time together, even during the birth operation,” the doctor added.
Dr. Michel Sussmann told the Journal that while is he is the 33-year-old actress’ doctor, that doesn’t mean he wants to be her friend.
“We had an excellent rapport,” he said. “She is so, so nice and never complained about anything. There are negative things sometimes written about her on the Internet, but don’t believe them.”
Tom, Katie & Suri In Rio!
Tom, Katie and Suri, 2, were snapped preparing to take a helicopter trip in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Sunday. Tom and his family are in South America to promote his film Valkyrie.

Morning Sickness
Approximately one half and two-thirds of all pregnant women experience some form of morning sickness, whether mild or severe, during the first trimester. The most noticeable symptoms of morning sickness include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, depression and anxiety.
A very serious condition, known as Hyperemesis gravidarum (or severe morning sickness), can affect 1 out of every 1,000 pregnant women. Symptoms of severe morning sickness include dehydration due to repeated vomiting and weight loss. Usually hospitalization is required, with plenty of intravenous liquids and nutrition. Left untreated, severe complications could ensue, such as malnourishment of the fetus, excessive vital organ strain, heightened depression and anxiety, and electrolyte imbalances.
Pregnancy Morning Sickness
Most often morning sickness starts around the 4th week of pregnancy and continues until the 12th week. However, 1 in 5 women do experience morning sickness well into their second trimester. Unfortunately, a few women even experience nausea, vomiting, and most of the associated symptoms of morning sickness for the entire duration of their pregnancies. True to its name, morning sickness does occur mostly early on in the day, but it has also been known to occur at any moment during the day or night, often triggered by diet, stress, or combined with motion sickness.
If your morning sickness symptoms are severe, consult with your doctor or health care professional. Remember that some morning sickness is normal, even beneficial. In fact, numerous studies show a link between moderate morning sickness and a reduced risk of miscarriage. If your symptoms are becoming unmanageable, talk with your doctor to see what morning sickness remedies are available.

Effects of Smoking During Pregnancy
You've heard the bleak facts about how smoking can cut short your life span. How it's the main cause of lung cancer, and other cancers. You've also heard about how addictive smoking can be. So you can no doubt imagine the negative effects of smoking during pregnancy can have. According to most medical and health experts, as soon as you find out you're pregnant, you should stop smoking immediately. Studies prove that smoking while pregnant can increase your baby's risk of developing meningitis, asthma, oral cleft, stomach problems, sleep problems as well as attention, motor control and perception disorders.
Ok. So suppose you are well aware of how bad smoking while pregnant is but still can't stop?
Pregnant and Smoking? Below Are Some Reminders As To Why You Need To Quit!
* Being pregnant and not smoking will decrease the risks for the developing baby. If you stop early in pregnancy, the risks for disease are about the same as for women who are non-smokers.
* Kids exposed to passive or second-hand smoke are more likely to have chronic coughs, bronchitis and ear infections.
* Children born to smoking parents have less efficient lung function and are more likely to develop respiratory illnesses later in life.
