  I don't have tearing but I do have pretty bad hemorrhoids. I recommend laying down as much as you can and only sit/stand for limited times. When you sit try sitting on a pillow to help with the pressure as well

  You seem to have everything you need. Time is the only thing you need now. I had 2nd degree tears too n bad hemorrhoids. Use a stool softener everyday. Use the pain meds they give at the hospital. Just hang in there. It gets better everyday. I had my baby on the 14th and I couldn't visualize feeling this healed by now back then. I'm not 100% yet but it's much better than week 1.

  Thank you ladies! I'm trying to keep my hopes up but positive vibes make me feel better. I'm just nervous to be alone with baby when my husband returns to work next week and am scared if I still hurt this bad how I would be able to go anything!

  Are you eating stuff that helps you go too? For me coffee makes me. And lots of greens. I had a few days where I didn't go and then when I did it was no fun. But it improves with time. Also it seemed like a short walk would help.
  Hope it goes okay for you!

  I agree with PP - foods made all the difference for me. I had a 3rd degree tear and 'roids from pushing for 3 hours before a vacuum assisted birth, so the post partum struggle was real. I waited 6 days until my first poop, and I won't lie, it was rough. Take duca lax, drink lots of water and eat soft foods. The day I realized I just had to do it, I drank coffee, had a carnation breakfast shake for breakfast and oatmeal at lunch, a salad for dinner and then took smooth move before bed. The next day I read some funny blogs about post partum poop for inspiration, went to the bathroom and just let it happen. I'm three weeks today and feeling pretty good!
