I think honestly..it would have been so wonderful and easy if I had 1. slept and 2. just had energy...as in not having been on bedrest for so long before hand. I was just beat. I admit I had a little break down of 'not again' and 'Im not going home with a baby again' period(s), my mind wasn't in the right place at all.

TMI question....ladies who have had tearing, when did it stop hurting so much? I tore with Lakai a bit like three or four stitches...but with Marlow I tore badly and have over 15 stitches. I thought/think I was running on adrenaline because it didn't hurt the first day/night all that much. Now when I get up, I am in so much pain (though I can walk) and feel like well I might rip again from swelling/pressure....any advice?

Sorry...

i tore with Jaiden, with tyler i got cut, it was far worse when i was cut.

anyway, i found like u it didnt hurt much at 1st but then a couple of days later it hurts to sit walk etc i asked my mw and she said its where its healing and u can feel the stitches gettin tight.
and im also guessing where ur not so swollen u can feel it more iykwim.

i didnt take anything for mine but some ppl take arcania tablets and u can get it in cream to, it helps with healing & bruises.

also someone said they put ice packs down there, not sure how tht worked tho

also i found i used extra thick maternity pads were better cuz they cushioned me more

HTH x

sorry tht sould have been arnica x

Nic i was cut too, it hurt for days, just limit your walking around and be easy on yourself. Takes a few weeks to feel 'normal' again but the pain shouldnt last that long x
