I am not yet a mother but I know that pregnancy is not an easy thing to through. When a woman is in labour before she gives birth, she goes through contractions which are very painful. Someone once described labour pains as painful as breaking so many bones at the same time. Many atimes doctors administer medications to lessen these pains but with the Labour pains comes discomfort and followed by so much happening in the system weakening it.

After the Labour comes the child bearing, if the child is born through ceaserean if is much effortless for the mother but if she has to push through the birth canal putting all her energy at work to push out the baby, this weakens her a lot.

Child bearing is also accompanied with loss of blood. Some women lose more blood than others. Bleeding after childbearing makes the woman aneamic and hence very weak. It is important to note that some even end up with tears especially if the baby was too large.

The pains and travails of Child bearing for women is very agonizing and leaves the woman very quick. I may not know the right medical terms to use in explaining this but I believe this is why women are weak after child bearing. They go through a lot.

A friend of mine once said the cry of the baby makes all the pain go away but they still need to rest, good food and lots of fluid and care to recuperate.
