When I had my son, I tore inside and needed stitches. It burned when I peed to the point where I cried everytime. I of course was doing alot of things and not resting. come to find out my stitches got irritated and started to swell. Lay low for a few days do as little as possible and use ice! I hope this second time around is much more forgiving since I'll have a 2 year old running wild!
My first baby was like that the it would burn every time I would pee I could do #2 for 14 days exactly I was so afraid I would bust a stitch or something just tale it easy give it about another week. Congrats by the way.....
It's to early for you to be doing all that doc don't tell you those things but ur body needs to heal at least give two weeks before doing anything hard. Bc my baby was 9 pounds too and I did the samething and now I'm paying the price Bc I get a back pain really bad sometimes and it's not bc I used something on my labor bc I didn't I had her all natural my mother in law did told me but i didn't listen to her so take it easy.
The hospital told me not to take a bath which I thought was odd because I hear mom's saying they all do that and it helps. I pushed for 3hrs too :( But thank you! I'll do less haha
My son was 8 pounds 10 ounces and he was 19 1/2 inches long...i tore from the end of my vagina to almost my butt
...i think i had maybe 10 stitches!!! They are suppose to give u a sits bath!! I am pregnant with second child lol 21 weeks...its sore bc its healing...everything i did hurt!!! Laughing and everything...ur just suppose to sit in warm water (sits bath)
Take it easier ur body is healing inside and out urind might think ur ready but i would just do light stuff around less walk and dont lift anything too heavy for another week or so. I had a big baby 5 yrs ago and got a hernia from doing what ir doing so take it easy :)
I also have this fear of it getting infected :( has that happened to anyone??
