What is the recovery time after normal delivery?

After a typical vaginal delivery, the vagina tends to be uncomfortable and tender for at least two weeks. Within seven to ten days, you should be able to regain your energy.

Complete recovery, especially if you had a perineum tear while giving birth, could take six weeks or more, depending on your overall health. Consult your doctor about how soon you can begin exercising following a normal vaginal delivery, as this is dependent on your overall health.
