Instagram / The Birds Papaya Sarah Nicole Landry, aka The Birds Papaya, with her new baby girl Lemmie. And naturally, she’s sharing an extremely honest list of the changes her postpartum body went through in the week since since she gave birth. It’s the safest way to get clean after using the bathroom if you had a vaginal birth, since the area will be swollen, sore, and open to infection, Dr. Christina Dothager told Parents. If you had a vaginal birth, an ice pack can help with that pain. PadsIt’s normal for a postpartum body to excrete a discharge called lochia — a mixture of blood and uterine lining that, as Landry says, is different in “smell, texture and flow” from a normal period.
