1. What contraceptive options? Depending on whether you are breastfeeding, plan to have another child (and how fast), or have a chronic health problem.

2. When will I be menstruating again? According to The C. Lawrence, MD, clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, fastest breast-feeding mother who got his first six-month period after delivery. Mama who do not breastfeed usually gets the first menstruation between 6 to 8 weeks after birth, and often quite a lot.

3. How long does it take to lose weight? Most of the mom will take about 3-6 months to "shrink". Doctors can help, especially if you are breast-feeding (and should not be too much to reduce calories), or have recently undergone a Caesarean section (some activities may not be done until you are fully recovered).

4. What will happen with my sexual desire? Loss of sex was very common passion. Unfortunately, little new mothers who want to open about this, said Johanna Abernathy, MD, obstetrics and gynecology physician in Cedar Rapids, USA. Indeed, fatigue was not a sexy thing, and breast-feeding may lower estrogen levels (, and libido) and also cause vaginal dryness. Your doctor can not do much about sleep disturbance or fluctuation of hormones in your body, but you discuss the possible use of lubricants.

5. When will my breast size back to normal? If you are breastfeeding and breasts are still slightly soft or ill, the doctor may recommend certain medications. But if you do not breast feed, there should be no longer the remnants of milk. Then maybe just the size and shape of your breasts have changed permanently.

6. How do I solve problems urinating? The inability to control urination are common, and usually disappear within 12 weeks after delivery, said Dr. Lawrence. Meanwhile, the doctor may recommend that you perform exercises such as Kegel exercises, to speed recovery.
