I'm not really worried about labor and actually giving birth. It's the long weeks of recovery that follows birth I'm…

Yeah that's only if baby splits you or they have to cut you a bit... Warm water in the bottle helped but no one told me that at first so I learned the hard way the first time I went to use the restroom

Awww lol. You're gonna do just fine. Just utilize everything they give you in the hospital; dermoplast spray, squirt bottle, etc. I leaned forward also whenever I peed, so that it wouldn't go back onto my stitches. But that was the most painful thing to me out of it all. Maybe I'm just weird lol.

@breloya, @rhonda.otero see I've never even heard about the squirt bottle and it didn't even cross my mind that it would burn to pee. 😩😩😵.

Yeah that's true but it's like a cut on the belly where you can barely stand up and it's harder to care for baby versus one on the va jay jay where you have to squirt warm water every time you pee because it burns so bad but it's easier to take care of baby? Idk it's all so painful

Recovery wasn't bad for me and I had internal and external stitches. The only bad part was the burning when I peed because of them. But drinking lots of water and using the squirt bottle helped a lot.

@rhonda.otero, I don't really think ones easier than the other 😞. Either way it's gonna suck.

I had her on 11/23/13 and I was fine by Christmas, I spent the first few weeks basically asleep lol the pain meds they gave me knocked me out when I took them, so I took them when I couldn't handle the pain anymore. Getting up to walk for the first time was the hardest part they like yank you out of bed and tell you to walk

I'm worried because they said this time I have to have a c section and I've heard a bunch of horror stories.. Although the natural birth with a tear was horrible as well recovering

@brantleysmomma15, I hope you have a safe and speedy recovery 😕. How much pain are you experiencing? Vaginal or cesarean?

@2novbabies, how long did it take to recover? I've heard a lot about vaginal birth recovery but not too much about c-sections. What was the worst part?

i have 4 more weeks of recovery ..... yay me :(

I had a csection and recovery sucked but it really wasn't that bad. It hurt but it's birth so of course it's gonna hurt
