I gave vaginal birth on May 25th. She said I had nothing but basically a cat scratch from it. It was a non complicated birth. Im a summer baby, I swim. I need a pool.
Not being able to be in one has been severly depressing me.. Can I swim? I have to know today if its alright, we are going to the gym.
I don't see any reason why not, I tore when I gave birth and had a few stitches but my doc said I can still take baths and that it would help me recover faster so I think it would be ok :)
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?
I didn't tear during birth and was wondering how long I would have to wait to go swimming or have sex?
I been off my birth control pills since April this year
As calm as I try to be I am TERRIFIED of giving birth!!!
How come theres no group for birth/labour experiences? As a first time mom, I want to know your stories!
I want to have a natural birth, at home. Preferably in a birth pool.
Tell me about yours!
Are you still bleeding at all? If not you might be ok to go. You can ask your doc too.
