I didn't tear, but my Dr said if I would've pushed baby out fast I would've so I got lucky that time... Anyways yes take the stool softener it will help ease pain.
I'm not really sure i had a c section but didn't they give you pain meds and i read that some people take stool a softener so they dont have to push so much and that way it's not really hard sorry i couldn't help more
Take your stool softeners and its not that bad. I expected it to hurt worse then it actually did.
Yes! Take the stool softeners that they give you every day. It helped me tremendously.
