Postpartum care isn’t just for live births—it’s also for healing after loss

At LavenderCare, we are deeply committed to supporting mothers and families throughout every stage of postpartum care. But we recognize that not all journeys through pregnancy end with a healthy birth. For some, the path is marked by unimaginable grief and loss. This October, in honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, we are raising awareness about the realities of pregnancy loss, stillbirth, and infant death—and the critical importance of care and support for grieving parents.

Our Why

Our mission at LavenderCare is rooted in providing holistic postpartum care. While much of our work focuses on supporting new mothers after childbirth, we also believe in standing alongside those who have experienced loss. Pregnancy and infant loss affect countless families every year, and the emotional and physical aftermath of such a tragedy can be devastating.

We are raising awareness this month to acknowledge these families, help break the silence around pregnancy loss, and provide resources and care to those who need it most. No parent should have to endure this pain alone, and it’s vital to affirm that their grief is real, their loss is valid, and their healing matters.


Understanding Pregnancy and Infant Loss

Pregnancy and infant loss is more common than many realize, though it’s often shrouded in silence. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 2.6 million stillbirths occur annually, and millions more pregnancies end in miscarriage. In Nigeria alone, it's estimated that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, and stillbirths are a leading cause of infant mortality. These statistics highlight the need for greater awareness, education, and compassionate care for those affected.

Causes of Pregnancy and Infant Loss

There are many reasons why a pregnancy may end in miscarriage or stillbirth, and it's important to remember that in most cases, there is nothing the parents could have done to prevent it. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Chromosomal abnormalities: Often, a miscarriage happens because of random genetic issues that make the pregnancy non-viable.
  • Infections: Certain infections, such as those affecting the uterus or the fetus, can lead to pregnancy loss.
  • Placental problems: If the placenta doesn’t develop properly or detaches from the uterine wall too early, this can lead to stillbirth.
  • Chronic health conditions: Conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or thyroid disorders can increase the risk of pregnancy complications.
  • Lifestyle factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol use, and drug use can contribute to miscarriage or stillbirth, though these factors are not always the cause.
  • Trauma: Physical trauma, including severe accidents or falls, can sometimes lead to pregnancy loss.

While these are some common causes, it's crucial to reaffirm that most cases of pregnancy loss are beyond the parents' control. Blaming oneself is a natural but harmful response, and part of healing involves understanding that loss is not their fault.


Preventive Measures and Awareness

In some cases, early interventions or preventive measures may help reduce the risk of pregnancy complications. However, it's important to acknowledge that not all losses are preventable. Here are a few general guidelines for expecting parents:

  • Regular prenatal care: Attending regular prenatal appointments helps monitor the health of both the mother and the baby, allowing healthcare providers to detect potential issues early.
  • Healthy lifestyle choices: Maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding harmful substances (such as smoking or alcohol), and managing stress can support a healthy pregnancy.
  • Managing chronic conditions: If a mother has pre-existing health conditions, working closely with a healthcare provider to manage these throughout pregnancy can reduce the risk of complications.
  • Understanding warning signs: Knowing the signs of preterm labor, placental issues, or infections and seeking medical attention when necessary can sometimes prevent further complications.

However, it’s important to remember that even with the best care and all the right measures, loss can still happen. Parents should never feel at fault or responsible when it does.

The Importance of Post-Loss Care and Support

Pregnancy and infant loss is not just an emotional event—it is also a physical one. Mothers still undergo the postpartum process, even if the baby is no longer with them. This means that physical recovery, emotional support, and mental health care are all essential components of post-loss healing. The need for care does not disappear with the loss of the pregnancy.

At LavenderCare, we offer a range of postpartum care services that extend to grieving parents, including:

  • Physical recovery support: After a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, mothers may need medical follow-ups to ensure physical healing. This includes monitoring for infections, managing postpartum bleeding, and addressing any other complications.
  • Mental health counseling: Grieving parents often experience anxiety, depression, or even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Access to mental health professionals who specialize in grief is critical. Therapy, support groups, and grief counseling can help parents navigate the emotional aftermath of their loss.
  • Grief validation: Too often, parents feel isolated in their grief, especially when loss occurs in early pregnancy. Acknowledging the validity of their loss and the depth of their pain is an important step in healing. Support groups, memorial services, or personal rituals can help parents honor their baby’s memory.
  • Holistic healing: Grieving is a full-body experience that affects emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. LavenderCare promotes holistic healing through practices such as mindfulness, gentle yoga, and self-care techniques, helping parents process their loss in a balanced way.


Tips for Supporting Grieving Parents

If you or someone you love has experienced pregnancy or infant loss, here are a few tips for navigating this difficult time:

  1. Allow yourself to grieve: Grief has no timeline, and it’s important to give yourself space to mourn your baby. Surround yourself with loved ones who understand and support your journey.

  2. Seek professional help: Don’t hesitate to reach out to a grief counselor or mental health professional. Having someone to talk to can make a world of difference in processing your emotions.

  3. Join a support group: Connecting with others who have gone through similar experiences can be incredibly healing. Sharing your story and hearing others’ stories reminds you that you are not alone.

  4. Take care of your body: Even in grief, your body needs care. Eat nourishing foods, stay hydrated, and rest as much as you can. Physical healing is part of emotional recovery.

  5. Honour your loss: Find ways to honour your baby’s memory, whether through a personal activity, a special keepsake, or a memorial service. This can be a beautiful part of your healing journey.

Reaffirming Our Commitment

Pregnancy and infant loss is an incredibly painful experience, but no parent should go through it without support. At LavenderCare, we stand with grieving parents by offering compassionate, holistic postpartum care designed to nurture both the body and the spirit. Our goal is to help parents heal physically and emotionally while providing a space for their grief to be recognized and supported.

If you or someone you know is struggling with pregnancy or infant loss, please visit www.lavendercare.co for resources and support, or email us at . We are here to help you through this journey. You are not alone, and your grief matters.


Healing Together...

During Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, we honour the babies who are no longer with us and the parents who carry their memories. We acknowledge the grief, the pain, and the strength it takes to navigate loss. Let us continue to break the silence surrounding pregnancy loss and provide the care and support these parents need to heal.

No one should grieve in isolation, and by raising awareness, we take one step closer to creating a world where grieving parents are supported, understood, and given the space to heal.

The body’s natural elimination processes—urination, sweating, and shedding extra fluids—are gradually working to reduce the swelling. However, in some cases, the swelling may take a little longer to go down, especially if you’ve had a more complicated birth or retained more fluid during pregnancy.]]>https://www.lavendercare.co/blogs/post/every-woman-s-postpartum-recovery-is-different-but-most-women-notice-swelling-subsiding-within-one-tFluid retention, also known as edema, is a common occurrence during the postpartum period. It involves the accumulation of excess fluids in the body's ]]>

POSTPARTUM FLUID RETENTION

80% of new mothers is postpartum fluid retention or edema. 

After childbirth, your body continues to undergo significant changes, and one common challenge that affects up to 80% of new mothers is postpartum fluid retention or edema. 

Fluid retention, also known as edema, is a common occurrence during the postpartum period. It involves the accumulation of excess fluids in the body's tissues, leading to swelling, particularly in the extremities like the hands, feet, ankles, and legs. 

Understanding fluid retention, its causes, symptoms, management, and when to seek medical attention is crucial for new mothers to ensure a smooth recovery.
During pregnancy, your body naturally holds onto extra fluid to support both you and your growing baby. By the time you deliver, you may be carrying as much as 50% more blood and body fluids than usual. This fluid helps prepare your body for labor and childbirth by softening tissues and joints and supporting your expanding uterus.

After birth, your body begins to shed this excess fluid through urine and sweat. However, the sudden shift in hormones and changes to your circulatory system can cause this fluid to pool in your limbs, resulting in swelling (edema)—particularly in your hands, feet, and ankles. For mothers who’ve had a C-section, the swelling can sometimes be more pronounced because of the additional fluids administered during surgery.


    Causes of Fluid Retention Postpartum
  • Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy induces significant hormonal fluctuations, particularly increases in progesterone and estrogen, which can cause the body to retain more water and salt.
  • Increased Blood Volume: During pregnancy, a woman's blood volume increases to support the growing fetus. Postpartum, it takes time for the body to return to its pre-pregnancy blood volume, contributing to fluid retention.
  • Reduced Mobility: Labor and delivery can be physically taxing, leading to periods of reduced mobility. Limited movement can slow circulation, making it easier for fluids to accumulate in the lower extremities.
  • Dietary Factors: High salt intake can exacerbate fluid retention as sodium causes the body to hold onto water.
  • Post-Surgical Recovery: Women who undergo cesarean sections or other surgical interventions may experience increased fluid retention due to the body's healing processes.
  • Lymphatic System Changes: The lymphatic system, responsible for draining excess fluids, can be temporarily overwhelmed or disrupted during childbirth, leading to swelling.
Symptoms of Fluid Retention
  • Swelling (Edema): Noticeable puffiness or swelling in the hands, feet, ankles, legs, and sometimes the face.
  • Stretched or Shiny Skin: Skin over swollen areas may appear tight or glossy.
  • Weight Gain: An unexplained increase in weight due to excess fluid.
  • Stiff Joints: Swelling can cause discomfort and reduced mobility in the joints.
  • Increased Abdominal Swelling: The abdomen may remain bloated longer than expected.

Impact on Postpartum Recovery

While fluid retention is typically benign and resolves on its own, excessive or prolonged edema can:
  • Cause Discomfort: Swelling can lead to pain and discomfort, making movement and daily activities more challenging.
  • Affect Mobility: Significant swelling, especially in the legs, can impair mobility, increasing the risk of falls or injuries.
  • Mask Other Health Issues: Persistent edema might obscure symptoms of other conditions, such as infections or blood clots.

Management and Treatment
  • Hydration: Paradoxically, drinking adequate water helps reduce water retention by flushing out excess sodium from the body.
  • Balanced Diet: Limiting salt intake and consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can help manage fluid levels.
  • Regular Movement: Engaging in gentle postpartum exercises, walking, or stretching promotes circulation and reduces swelling.
  • Elevating Limbs: Elevating the feet and legs can facilitate fluid return from the lower extremities, decreasing swelling.
  • Compression Garments: Wearing compression stockings or support garments can help minimize swelling in the legs and feet.
  • Massage: Gentle massage can stimulate lymphatic drainage and reduce fluid accumulation.
  • Rest: Ensuring adequate rest helps the body recover and manage fluid levels more effectively.
  • Monitoring Fluid Intake: Keeping track of fluid consumption ensures that intake aligns with the body's needs without contributing to excess retention.

While fluid retention is usually normal postpartum, certain signs may indicate more serious conditions requiring medical evaluation:
  • Sudden or Severe Swelling: Rapid onset or intense swelling, especially if localized to one limb.
  • Pain or Tenderness: Swelling accompanied by significant pain, warmth, or redness could signal a blood clot.
  • Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing alongside swelling may indicate pulmonary issues.
  • Persistent or Worsening Edema: If swelling does not improve with standard measures or continues to worsen over time.
Other Symptoms: Fever, headache, or changes in vision alongside swelling.
Preventive Measures
  • Stay Active: Incorporate light exercises as approved by a healthcare provider to promote circulation.
  • Monitor Salt Intake: Be mindful of high-sodium foods that can contribute to fluid retention.
  • Wear Comfortable Clothing: Avoid tight garments that can restrict circulation.
  • Stay Hydrated: Maintain adequate fluid intake to support the body's natural fluid balance.
  • Elevate Legs: Regularly elevate the legs to aid in fluid return and reduce swelling.

Conclusion: Prioritizing Your Postpartum Recovery

Postpartum fluid retention can be uncomfortable, but it's a normal part of your body’s recovery process. As a new mom, it's easy to focus solely on your baby, but remember that taking care of yourself is just as important. Simple practices like staying hydrated, moving gently, and elevating your legs can help reduce swelling and make you feel more comfortable.

Your body has been through an incredible journey, and it deserves patience and care. By nurturing yourself, you’re not only supporting your recovery but also setting the foundation for a healthy, happy postpartum experience. You’ve got this, mama!



Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice, especially if discomfort persists or there are concerns related to postpartum healing.

This blog post explores why constipation happens after childbirth and provides practical solutions to ease discomfort.]]>

POSTPARTUM CONSTIPATION

1 in 3 women reported constipation during the first week after delivery

You’ve just welcomed a new baby into the world—congrats, mama! You’re probably feeling all the feels right now: joy, exhaustion, and, let’s be honest… a little discomfort. But there’s something that a lot of people don’t talk about enough after childbirth: postpartum constipation.

Studies suggest that 20-25% of women experience constipation in the postpartum period, with the prevalence being slightly higher in women who undergo cesarean sections compared to those who have vaginal deliveries

A 2019 study found that 1 in 3 women reported constipation during the first week after delivery .
60-80% of women who had a cesarean delivery reported bowel problems, including constipation, within the first two weeks postpartum .
Picture this: You’ve made it through the marathon of labor, or maybe you’ve just had a C-section. Either way, you’re trying to recover, and suddenly, you realize something… nothing is moving. Your gut is doing the opposite of what you need it to do, and it’s frustrating, to say the least. Constipation after childbirth is more common than you'd think. There are a few culprits behind this often-overlooked issue:

Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy hormones, particularly progesterone, can slow down bowel movements. Even after delivery, these hormones are still at play, causing sluggish digestion.

Dehydration and Loss of Fluids: Whether you had a vaginal delivery or a C-section, your body loses fluids during labor. And if you’re breastfeeding, your hydration needs increase even more. Dehydration can make stool hard and difficult to pass.

Medications: Did you have an epidural or were you given pain relief during or after delivery? Pain medications, especially opioids, are known to cause constipation.

Fear of Pain (or Actual Pain): If you had a perineal tear or an episiotomy, the thought of pushing during a bowel movement might fill you with dread. It’s a real fear, but trust me, the fear of pain can sometimes make you unconsciously hold back from going, which only makes things worse.

Muscle Weakness: Pregnancy and delivery can weaken your pelvic floor muscles. These muscles play a huge role in bowel movements, and when they’ve been stretched or weakened, constipation can follow.

Iron Supplements: Many mothers are prescribed iron supplements post-delivery, especially if they experienced significant blood loss. While these supplements help with anemia, they also have a not-so-great side effect: constipation.

For some mothers, constipation starts immediately after delivery and lasts for a few days, while for others, it may persist for weeks. Every body is different. If you’re still struggling after two weeks, it’s worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

True Story Time

Let me tell you about a Lavendermum Community member, Mrs M. After giving birth to her first baby via C-section, she was ecstatic—and exhausted. The hospital recovery was going well… until it wasn’t. By day three, she realized she hadn’t had a single bowel movement since before labour, and things were starting to feel uncomfortable.

She tried to ignore it at first (I mean, who wants to think about bowel movements when you’re busy learning how to be a mother?), but by day five, Mrs M was in full panic mode. She was bloated, crampy, and just feeling miserable. It wasn’t until a I gently reminded her that pain meds can slow things down that she realized it was normal—annoying, but normal.

With some tips, Mrs M got through it (we’ll get to those tips in a sec!). The point is, postpartum constipation is a totally common part of recovery, and there’s no need to feel embarrassed or stressed about it. If it’s happening to you, you’re not doing anything wrong—your body’s just adjusting to a whole new reality. PS. If you'd like to hire a Postpartum Doula, simply fill this contact form
Okay, so you’re constipated. But how long is too long? While it’s uncomfortable, postpartum constipation usually resolves itself within a couple of weeks. However, about 17% of moms find that their digestion can be off for up to 6 months after giving birth. If that’s you, don’t worry—there are ways to handle it. But if things feel really out of whack, there are some signs to watch for:
  • Severe pain or bloating
  • Bleeding during bowel movements
  • Symptoms lasting longer than a week without improvement
  • Nausea or vomiting



If any of these happen, it’s definitely time to call your doctor. Sometimes, more serious issues like a bowel obstruction can be at play, and it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Tips to Get Things Moving (What Worked for Mrs M—and Thousands of Other Mothers)

Stay Hydrated:
  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day (8-10 glasses is ideal). Fluids help soften the stool and make it easier to pass.
  • Warm liquids, like herbal teas or warm water with lemon, can stimulate digestion and ease bowel movements.

Increase Fibre Intake:
  • A high-fibre diet helps to bulk up stool and promote regular bowel movements. Try incorporating:
  • Fresh fruits (e.g., apples, pears, berries)
  • Vegetables (e.g., spinach, carrots, broccoli)
  • Whole grains (e.g., oats, whole wheat bread, brown rice)
  • Legumes (e.g., lentils, beans)
  • Fibre supplements (e.g., psyllium husk) may also be helpful if dietary fibre intake is insufficient.

Exercise and Movement:
  • Gentle physical activity can help stimulate bowel movements. Activities like walking, postpartum yoga, or light stretching can improve digestion.
  • Start slowly, especially after a cesarean section, but regular movement will help reduce constipation.

Stool Softeners:
  • If dietary changes aren’t enough, doctors may recommend stool softeners (e.g., docusate sodium) to make passing stools easier. These are generally safe for breastfeeding mothers.

Probiotics:
  • Probiotics can support healthy gut function and regular bowel movements. Foods rich in probiotics include yogurt, kefir, and fermented foods like sauerkraut or kimchi. Probiotic supplements are another option.

Scheduled Bathroom Time:
  • Set aside a regular time to try to go to the bathroom, even if you don’t feel the urge. Establishing a routine can train your body to have regular bowel movements.
  • Give yourself enough time, and try not to rush or strain, which can worsen symptoms.

Manage Pain:
  • Use perineal sprays, witch hazel pads, or sitz baths to ease the discomfort of stitches or hemorrhoids.
  • Applying a warm compress to the abdomen before trying to have a bowel movement can help relax muscles.
  • Taking short walks or gentle stretching can also relieve discomfort associated with constipation.

Laxatives (if necessary):
  • If constipation persists, mild laxatives like osmotic agents (e.g., polyethylene glycol) may be recommended. However, always consult a doctor before using laxatives, especially while breastfeeding.
How Mrs M Got Her Relief

Back to Mrs M's story: after some water, fiber-rich foods, and a little help from a gentle stool softener (thanks to her doctor’s recommendation), she finally felt the relief she needed. By day seven, she was back to normal, and by week two, her body had fully adjusted.

Now, she tells every new mother she meets about her experience because no one should have to suffer in silence. We’re all going through the same challenges—it just helps to talk about them!


In Closing, Mama: You Got This!

Postpartum constipation is a temporary but uncomfortable condition that many new mothers face. Fortunately, with dietary changes, hydration, movement, and sometimes medical interventions, it can be managed effectively. 

Postpartum constipation is a totally normal part of recovery. Your body just went through an incredible experience, and it needs time to adjust. With a little patience and the right strategies, you’ll be back to feeling like yourself in no time.

Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice, especially if discomfort persists or there are concerns related to postpartum healing.

Remember Amaka from our C-Section series? If you don't, then check out the series on the LavenderCare Instagram Page!

Now, you know how everyone talks about sleep deprivation during the postpartum period? Amaka knew this already so she was ready and expected sleepless nights and busy days. But as weeks turned into months, she felt more than just tired. Despite getting some rest when her baby slept, she felt utterly exhausted, forgetful, and easily overwhelmed. She chalked it up to the demands of new motherhood, but deep down, she knew something else was going on.

If you can relate to Amaka's experience, you might be dealing with postpartum depletion.


What is Postpartum Depletion?

Postpartum depletion is a term that describes feeling physically and emotionally drained after giving birth. Unlike postpartum depression, which many people know about, postpartum depletion isn’t officially a medical condition, but it can still make life pretty hard!

Postpartum depletion means that your body and mind are worn out from the demands of pregnancy, childbirth, and taking care of a new baby. It can last for months or even years if not addressed.

How Do You Know If You Have Postpartum Depletion?

Here are some common signs:

  • You're Always Tired: No matter how much you rest, you still feel exhausted.
  • Brain Fog: It’s hard to concentrate or remember things.
  • Mood Swings: You might feel more irritable, anxious, or easily overwhelmed.
  • Physical Weakness: You feel generally weak or get sick more often.
  • Nutrient Deficiencies: Things like brittle nails, hair loss, or pale skin can signal you’re missing important nutrients.

What Causes Postpartum Depletion?

Several factors may contribute to postpartum depletion, including:

Nutrient Deficiencies

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, a mother’s body prioritizes the baby’s nutritional needs, often at the expense of her own. This can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients like iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for energy production and overall health.

Sleep Deprivation
Newborns require constant care, leading to disrupted sleep patterns for mothers. The cumulative effect of sleep deprivation can significantly impact both physical and mental health.

Hormonal Changes
The postpartum period involves significant hormonal shifts. These changes can affect mood, energy levels, and overall well-being, contributing to feelings of depletion.

Emotional Stress
The demands of caring for a newborn, combined with the pressures of modern life, can lead to emotional and physical burnout. The lack of adequate support can exacerbate these feelings.

Overcoming Postpartum Depletion

Addressing postpartum depletion requires a holistic approach that focuses on replenishing the body's resources and supporting emotional well-being.  Amaka gradually got back to feeling like herself again by taking care of both her body and mind. Here are some things she focused on and you should too:

1. Nutrition
  • Balanced Diet: Focus on a diet rich in whole foods, including lean proteins, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables.
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially if you are breastfeeding.
  • Supplements: Consider taking prenatal vitamins, iron, and omega-3 supplements, but always consult with a healthcare provider first.

2. Rest and Sleep
  • Nap When the Baby Naps: Take advantage of your baby’s sleep schedule to get some rest. This may seem unrealistic, but not with the right support system. Which leads to the next point
  • Ask for Help: Don’t hesitate to seek support from family and friends to get breaks and catch up on sleep.

3. Emotional Support
  • Talk About Your Feelings: Share your experiences with trusted friends, family, or a support group.
  • Professional Help: If you feel overwhelmed, consider speaking with a therapist or counselor specializing in postpartum issues.

4. Self-Care Practices
  • Gentle Exercise: Engage in light physical activities like walking to boost energy levels.
  • Mindfulness and Relaxation: Practice mindfulness, meditation, or deep-breathing exercises to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
  • Personal Time: Dedicate time to activities that you enjoy and that help you recharge.

Wrapping Up, Moving Forward

Feeling off after having a baby is common, but it’s important to recognize if it might be more than just lack of sleep. Postpartum depletion though often overlooked, can significantly affect your health and well-being as a mother. By understanding what it is and how to manage it, you can start feeling better and more like yourself again.  Remember, taking care of yourself is crucial for taking care of your baby.
