Postpartum pressure when standing

I don't think there's a pregnant person out there who believes the immediate postpartum period is going to be a walk in the park.

No matter how your little one comes into the world, there's going to be some... let's call it "pelvic disruption." But while your new baby's immediate exit is, reasonably, the area of chief concern, a lot of people aren't prepared for pressure in the bum after giving birth.
