Hey ladies here I am 3 days after having my beautiful baby girl and things have been great. I got a second degree tear and hemorrhaged pretty badly after labor. Thankfully all is good now and I am in the process of healing haha.
I have been home nearly two days and i still use the squirt bottle when I pee, I use witch hazel pads, and make sure I keep it dry down there. I also took a newborn diaper, soaked in water and froze it (folded like a diaper is normally haha) and just placed it down there to help with swelling. Todays been the worst of it as I feel uber swollen down there. Not really near my stitches but more so the inner lips of my vagina.
I also press tp down there on the stitches when I go #2 so I don't feel like I'm ripping to pieces haha. Few questions though, there is a small idk piece of skin like near the bottom of my vaginal opening (I assume near my stitches start) is that normal? They never checked me before I left the hospital.
Also did any of you have trouble holding pee the first day or so? I had trouble the first day and yesterday but today I am getting better at holding it and not weeing myself a tad haha.
What are all you doing to ease the pain?
