I need some help! I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl on Tuesday morning at 5 am, so it's been a little over 4 days... When I gave birth, I tore on the side of my vagina and it has been horrifyingly painful with a burning sensation pretty much all the time... Is this normal and how long should it be burning like this? It hurts to the point of almost screaming when I pee and I have a very high pain tolerance!
I tore posterior and they didn't give me a spray bottle or any numbing spray. it was hell. I dealt with the pain during peeing but eased discomfort with pads that had aloe and witch hazel put in the freezer! As grody as it is, there were even times I would only pee in the shower 😰
@kelseys, I looked at it and it doesn't look infected at all... I think it must just be the healing process @shannaa24 okay that's what I'm going to keep doing... When using dermoplast, are you supposed to spray it directly on your vagina or onto the pad?
yes. I had it. it was horrible!!! just keep using that spray bottle and pay yourself try with a towel.
maybe its infected? you can always call and ask the OB if she will check it out
Yes they gave me all those and I use them and I clean with the squeeze bottle, but it still burns!!!
like the other ladies said, which hazel pads, and use water while going pee. what I did that helped a lot since it was on the side, I rolled up a bunch of paper towels, and held it on the spot so the pee didn't touch it.
I tore also but the gave me numbing spray and a water bottle you squeeze to help
I tore to when I gave birth to my daughter. They should of gave you a squeezy water bottle so after or while you pee squirt warm water to ease the burning.
Get some witch hazel pads. They'll keep you cool and help a lot with swelling.
ladies that gave birth vaginally, when you were in the healing process did you ever have painful urination?
Not like burning, but throbbing kind of pain...it happens near the end of my urination...
I been off my birth control pills since April this year
So as we do... I been reading birth stories with 3pregnancy... is it that bad the way people say it is??? 🤦🏽♀️why would my 3rd labour be more painful
I was 16 when I got pregnant an 17 when I gave birth to my 1st I'm 20 an pregnant with #2. What are your ages 1st or 2nd baby?
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
@katrinacurry, I was never giving dermoplast. just warm water in a spray bottle. everytime you pee, or even while you pee, spray yourself with it. my sister in law used an anti itch spray. you want to spray your vagina from a far, not to close. I would also call your obgyn. she can tell you more then I can.
