@caydensmommy, oh my lord lol I'm so not ready for this I thought I was lmao

My son was 9 lbs when he was born and I ended up with a 2nd degree tear, they gave me a squirt bottle for when I went to the bathroom. Best advice ever is use it .. it helps a lot. It made it not burn when I had to pee lol @miyah

I got three stitches with my first and second child...if u get stitch they give a spray called dermaplast it helps relieve the pain down below

@coko, oh no I needs the epidural lol

@london1010, I've heard it's harder to push when you can't feel anything

yes @miyah

@coko, you went natural ?

@caydensmommy, 😩 I'm scared lol

With the epidural I didn't feel a thing, they used the vacuum with my baby too and I felt "empty" for lack of a better word lol when she was out. Didn't hurt but I did feel them pull her out. Worst part is recovery when the meds wear off

I'm on baby #6 come June

I pushed out 5 and my biggest was 10 pounds yes it hurts like hell @miyah

If your epidural works it might not. Mine wore off so I felt everything, in my opinion it didn't hurt as bad as the stitching down there.

does it hurt @caydensmommy ??

I guess it depends how long you push for. I pushed for like 1 hour and they had to use the vacuum to help get my son out. But once he was out it felt a lot better!
