How long after the birth of our child will my woman get back to normal

what is normal? if you mean sanity? ha! that boat has sailed!
if you mean for sex? for a normal vaginal birth, most are not advised to have sex until the 6 week check up. for a c-section, it is a 8 week waiting period for that appointment.
but by then, the baby is still not sleeping, she is still not sleeping.. who is thinking about sex? we have to feed, we have to change, we have to find your socks while balancing a infant on our breast because you dont remember where you put them.
you should be asking when will YOU get back to normal... you should be suffering with her

Wow...that's a loaded question...and not enough details.
Emotionally, it will be a little while can be up to 9,10, 12 months.Not only does she care for the baby, she is getting no sleep, little sleep or broken sleep and her body has been through an ordeal for the past 9 months. If she's depressed or crying a lot, call her doctor and talk to him/her. They should know what's going on. She might not see it.
For sex, her doctor will tell her when she save to have sex again without infection. I'd guess at 6-8 weeks.
Physically...well, lets hope your not asking this...that would just be wrong. No woman is ever the same physically after she has a baby. And, those that are back in the gym or thin within a week may not be healthy. Women that lose too much too fast have huge problems. It took 9 months to make the baby and change her body from the top of her head to the tips of her toes...and will take a minimum of 18 months after she finishes nursing to get her body healthy again. However, if she gets pregnant again before that...it increases the time even more.

I guess this depends on your definition of "back to normal" There are many physical and hormonal changes a woman goes through after pregnancy. She probobly won't be exactly the way she was before she became pregnant. But, don't take that as discouraging news. Both of you will change and gain a lot from the experience. Right now, try to bear with her, as she is going through a lot. Typically, after the 6 week post pregnancy doctor visit, she should be able to do the same physical activity she was before the pregnancy. Providing she doesn't suffer from post par tom depression, you should both settle into your new lives and become comfortable in the first couple months. Good Luck!

I have bad news for you. You woman will never be normal again. She has become something far better than normal. She has transformed into a higher level of being known as a mother. She has forgotten about herself completely and you have to except taking a back seat as well. Her only concern is for the well being of the child that you have helped her to create. You should begin to take lessons from her and learn what true love and compassion is. Most importantly, you should be thankful for being able to witness God's great miracle of motherhood.

Define normal?
She is NEVER going the be the same as she was before pregnancy..So get used to it?
As for her body,it will probably never be the same again..Pregnancy and Childbirth isnt an easy accomplishment..You try and carry around up to an extra 35 pounds for 9 months and then push out a baby out see how long it takes you to get back to normal..
Just love her for her and be done with it..
Oh by the way stop saying "my woman".Its sounds like you own her!

If that's what your primary concern is right now, then I worry about how much real interest you have in your child and your partner's well-being. P.S - The 'normal' your worried about is never coming back... having a child will do that to people.

Could you be more specific? Think about it...she just went through nine months of "hell" either a painful delivery or a c-section. Now she is dealing with a crying baby, who she has to be at it's beck-and-call. She is probably not getting much sleep, eating well and is probably stressed out. Her hormones will most likely be out of control for atleast the post six-weeks and by the phrasing of your question, you are probably not an understanding guy. So my advice to you is be a man, help and comfort her.

Never. The birth of your child turned "your woman" into a totally new person she's never been before. She is no longer yours, she is no longer primarily a wife. Her role is now mother, and forever will be. You will have to adjust yourself accordingly.

Do you even have an idea what it takes to bring another human being into this life?I guess not.If you did,you wouldn't have asked this question.Stop thinking for yourself and support your woman and the baby to the best of your abilities.
