Tough recovery

anyone else struggling with recovery? I am. Even more painful than labor, left with stitches, perennial tear and roids. Ouch.

    Yikes! A lot of folks recommended Angel Baby Earth Mama New Mama Bottom Spray, sitz baths, and padsickles on hand for after the birth. Hope one of those helps you.

    Sounds like we have similar recovery issues, yes it's taking awhile for me to feel good again, I'm definetly only 60% right now. Then again I'm just 9 days out from L&D. Hang in there momma

    @hankhunter July 13 baby? Thanks all! It's been tough. It's not like I'm in unbearable pain all of the time, just ready to feel a lot better.

    You take sanitary pads and soak them in either alcohol-free witch hazel or herbal sitz bath tea, then cover them with aloe and freeze. Supposed to help a lot!

    I felt pretty normal by day 11, the end is in sight! Two things that really helped me were using the squirt bottle from the hospital while I peed not just for cleaning afterward, and taking a Tucks pad and holding it on the most painful spot for a few seconds after peeing, it took the burning feeling away.
