I was so thankful for tucks and the spray!! Helped a ton!! Did they give you stool softener's? I was so scared to go number two after the baby!! Scared to rip open the stitches and scared it would hurt. If any of you ladies don't have any on hand, I'd suggest getting some for after baby.

I remember it took like a whole week before I could walk normal again. Alot of really low pressure, felt like my whole stomach was going to fall out. And the stitches started to bug me alot thinking they never were going to heal. But it all gets better. Congrats on your baby boy :)

I was the same way when I had my son, you need ice pack pads, tucks and proctofoam! Did the hospital give you any of that?
