"...My lord, give me the baby!"
Karura wasn't suffering from the aftermath of childbirth. Gaara was so tiny that having him hadn't caused her much discomfort.
A cucumber had more strength than Gaara.
Besides, Liao Wu had already used Chakra to heal Karura's injuries.
When she'd given birth to Temari and Kankuro, Karura had been in excruciating pain.
