I didn't get any until after my daughter was born and it was awful. I almost cried every time I had to go to the restroom. What helped me was tucks pads (they're like baby wipes) preparation H cooling relief, and what did the most for me I think was baths. After every BM I would make a bath with the water as hot as I could possibly stand, about 3-4 inches deep and I would sit in it for 10-15 minutes. I still have problems with them and its been almost 7 years since I had her:/
