Sitting sucks after giving birth. Whine.

And I feel like I have a good long time to go before I get any relief. I only had a first degree tear that needed a stitch or two and some "lesions" that I can't feel. But it's still no fun. Please go away, pain!!! I was in labor for 5 days, I deserve no more pain.

Yup, I feel for you. It'll get better though!

it will get better! i'm pretty comfy already and had a 2nd degree, so i bet you'll be feeling better in a day or two! use the peri wash bottle and try to do the sitz bath as often as you can (for me it was nearly impossible to find 15 free min that i would not rather be sleeping!)

Are you using dermabond spray and witch hazel pads? Those feel awesome down there!

It will get better!

I found sitting on my boppy also helped--who knew it would be so versitale?

Ugh, recovery for me was the worst part! Give it another week and you'll feel like a new person. And once the bleeding stopped I felt like a million bucks!

Oh yes! This part sucked! I would feel the best after I took my painkiller and then got in a hot shower or bath. The hot water felt awsome down there and my pain was gone for a while after I got out.

Tucks pads were lifesavers for me! My mom recommended lining my pad with them, and it was such a relief. I went through an entire container in 1 day, but after that, I slowed way down cuz I was feeling a lot more comfortable. It doesn't take too long, and you'll feel so much better!
