After a vaginal delivery refers to the period following childbirth when a baby is delivered through the vagina. This typically involves a recovery period for the mother, during which she may experience pain or discomfort, as well as bleeding from the vagina. During this time, it is important for the mother to rest and take care of herself, as her body recovers from the physical demands of childbirth. This phrase is often used to describe the postpartum period following a vaginal delivery.
