(2/2) Gio should also be having an extremely heavy post partum period, you would not be comfortable in that position. You would have painful cramps, probably worse than usual because your hormones will be all over the place and you suddenly don’t have a baby in your stomach anymore. Plus, who would dare sit like when they have blood flowing out of them anyway? I certainly wouldn’t, at least not until my flow had calmed down slightly. It’s just very odd…

I have just seen the picture y’all are talking about and honestly, my first thought was “oh post partum bump, good”.. and then “why are her clothes so tight”.

Reading her caption on the previous and first pic with Alana, she’s talking about her labour, which should mean she didn’t have a c-section, or at least not an elective one (ie scheduled). So, we actually do not know but I’m inclined to say she gave birth vaginally. 

Now, regarding the position… if she gave birth vaginally, there is no reason for her to not be seating that way. She’s leaning on her side, which could indicate that she’s quite uncomfortable in that position or just trying to look good for the camera. Honestly there is absolutely no way of knowing what’s going on down there, if she had a tear and therefore stitches or not. Again, even with a c-section, she could just have had a great recovery, which happens. I’ve seen women walk perfectly fine 3 days after one.  Also most women prefer to be bent to suppress the pain of a c-section scar because it avoids stretching it.

Every woman is different, just like with your period : pain, flow, leaking, comfort.. we are taught to adapt to every woman, despite having general rules. Gio doesn’t seem to be breaking any of those, if I do say so myself. Except maybe the tight clothing on her lower half.
