The experience of giving birth is an unforgettable one for every woman. It does not matter whether a woman is giving birth for the first time or whether it is her next birth. Each birth is different and can take a completely different course. No two births are the same. That is why you have to prepare completely differently for each birth. Undoubtedly, first-time mothers face greater uncertainty. Most women expecting their first child try to find out as much as possible about childbirth and the puerperium and to prepare for it and their immediate postnatal future.

The birth of a child involves many changes in a woman's life. Certainly, all of life up to now, both for the mother-to-be and her immediate surroundings, will no longer be as it was before. As a result, most women experience a lot of dilemmas, fearing that they will not be able to cope with the many additional responsibilities involved in caring for a child. Such dilemmas have a huge impact on the mother's state of mind not only during pregnancy, but also in the first weeks after the birth. Once the baby is born and the woman has her baby with her, it is only natural that she should feel content and happy. She should feel happy to have her beloved baby, for whom she trembled throughout the pregnancy, by her side. Unfortunately, it is very often the case that instead of euphoria, there are tears. The lowered mood during this period is influenced by many different factors. One of them is undoubtedly extreme fatigue. The effort involved in giving birth makes a woman feel weak, exhausted and sleepy. Particularly if there are any abnormalities and complications during the birth associated with a lot of blood loss, this can exacerbate these feelings. Often the mother then does not have the strength or desire to take care of her newborn baby. The pain caused by an incision of the perineum during a physiological birth or a wound after a caesarean section can also contribute to a bad feeling during this period. In such cases, the woman finds it difficult to move around and take care of the baby, which significantly worsens her mood. A bad mood, apathy or despondency in the first few days after giving birth is perfectly physiological. Such a mood can be influenced both by complaints related to the birth itself and by a range of different emotional experiences unrelated to it.
