Due June 16th!

Getting so close to my due date and getting very nervous about labor because this is my first. How long does it take to heal up after labor?

I agree, after a few weeks you start to feel "normal" bodywise. My due date is June 15, but will be induced on the 10th if I don't go into labor sooner.

Both my mom and my sister tore during labor so I'm thinking I will. I have been taking evening primrose oil and I heard it not only helps me get effaced but it may minimize the tearing.
