I just gave birth on the 18th & am being released this morning. I'm trying to figure out what would be best for easing the vaginal pain. They've given me ice packs in the hospital, but they only lasted for 30 minutes each. I have a 2nd degree tear & had severe bleeding from being in labor too long.. so lots of pain. I feel like I read something somewhere about freezing maxi pads or refrigerating tucks pads? Has anyone seen anything like this or know any other tricks?
Thank you all!
