Delivery is very physical. Because of strain, exhaustion, and overall physical activity, some new mothers come out of the process with bloodshot, red or black eyes. For this condition, apply a bag of ice to the eyes for 15minutes, and repeat it every day for several times. Your wife's eyes will be recovered after several days.
