3 days postpartum!
Okay guys! I tried a lot of new things with this pregnancy! I started drinking raspberry leaf tea at 30 weeks. 1 cup a day for 2 weeks. Then 2 cups and so on up til 4 cups. I did this bc I heard it was to aid in softening your cervix. Also at 38 weeks I started taking evening primrose oil vaginally. These are things I really looked into an read into before doing! So...3 days postpartum! I have had minimal bleeding! Hardly any cramping. I used my squirt bottle the Hospital gave me, once! I didn't tear. And I have NO pain vaginally or anywhere else. I haven't used any lidocaine spray An on top of all this I had a 8 lb. 2 oz baby :) do your research!!!! I totally recommend doing both those things.
I got the tea from a local all natural store. But it doesn't look like it's hard to find. Just make sure it's not just raspberry tea, make sure it's pure raspberry leaf tea. I can't remember the brand I bought, but they had the same brand at Walmart, just not the kind I needed. And the same the with oil. Very easy to find. @nicoles
I've been drinking the tea too. Hasn't done anything for me but I like the taste anyways.
