Mommies that tore during birth, did you sit in shallow, warm, Epsom salt baths? Did it help?

I just did a plain sitz bath and it helped me heal faster and help with pain.

@jacesterlingsmommy, what's in a sitz bath?

Just plain water.

Oh ok! @jacesterlingsmommy how soon after delivery did you use it?

I did it while I was still in the hospital then for like 2 weeks after.

Ok good I was hoping I wasn't doing it too early, I'm 9 days po

@jacesterlingsmommy,

I just took regular baths and it helped a ton !!

@augustbaby2016400, good to know! So Epsom salt baths should be that much better!

Most likely yes I was just terrified to use anything because I didn't want it to burn but now in 4 weeks pp and you can barely tell .

@augustbaby2016400, I was afraid of that too but it didn't! I hope in 3 more weeks I'll feel just as good!
