She assured fans that her pain is "negligible" as of now. She said, “I feel a slight sensitivity on my stomach's skin and also on the uterus's skin as the uterus is again contracting to its original size. There's little sensitivity on the scars as the stitches are healing. But there is no pain at all."

In the same vlog, she also posed in front of a mirror and showed their fans a waist belt that she wore. Talking about it, she said, “The doctor advised me to wear this belt, and I started using it 7-8 days after delivering while I was still in the hospital.”
