moms of newborns...

anyone's "area" still ache?  my son (my second) is almost 4 weeks old and I still have some achiness down there and my bum.  Could be because I have been more active chasing around a 2 year old.  Also, anyone's bellies feel a little weird like the uterus is going back to size?  thanks

    Yes, the more babies you have the worse the 'after' pain is.

    My recovery was actually faster with my second, but the pain itself was worse. My second baby was over a pound smaller than my first, though. So, my first I was horribly sore in my "area" for almost eight weeks. With my second, it was only a few days. But, uterine contractions after my second were extremely painful and I don't even remember having them with my first.

    My achiness "down there" and in my bum-area is still there, worse after a lot of activity, long ride in the car, or a bowel movement.

    Mine was really achy to for a few weeks, and then I passed a huge clot (Sorry TMI) and then it went away, I think I was having a lot of pressure from that thing or something!

    Yes.  It almost feels like I rode a bike for too long.  Plus I still have a little stress incontinence.  I'm telling you, the recovery is 1000x worse than the delivery a NO ONE WARNS US!!!

    AMEN, sister. Delivery, courtesy of the epi, was FINE.

    NOW though, I feel like my hoo-ha has a severe sunburn and someone is stabbing it with a knife. Sitting down is a b!tch....

    I'm more achy this time, but my recovery has been a million times easier than it was with my first.  They had to use a vacuum with my son and I was able to avoid that this time, which made a world of difference.  I still ache and feel my stomach muscles and back pain more, but overall, I feel much better than I did after having DS.
