That makes sense. I had a really easy and virtually pain free recovery with DS, which amazed me since I had an episiotomy. I also had an epidural though, so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. I'm really hoping for a shorter labor next time, preferably after getting some sleep instead of before getting sleep, lol. I went into labor at 1:30 in the morning and had a lot of trouble sleeping from the time that I went to bed to labor time. My labor lasted 11 hours and by the time he was born I'd gone a whole day without sleep so needless to say I was exhausted afterwards.
