Just eat healthy drink tons of water and exercise and pray and be happy 🤗

And yes we as woman are amazing, we all heal

@bonniesue, but she should be prepared for what ever degree of tear it is, because not all woman want a c section.

I think the doctor just said that because I had such a bad tear. 4th degree so the worst possible. Women are amazing. We do incredible things!

And pushing the baby out only felt like a pinch compared to the stabbing pains of contractions

@allyk.xmommy, I can't remember how big my sons head but I think his head was average size, I remember the contractions were 10 times worse then pushing the baby out, I only pushed for 35 mins, because my whole mind set was the faster I push this baby out the faster these contractions will go away, lol. I also had a water birth so may have helped, and I went all natural

@bonniesue, i think that nurse was not very skilled In her job to say that. Also having a vaginal birth it's very healthy for the baby! I'm not saying C sections are bad either. I just think that nurse just contradicted herself. And also it's all worth it, because you see your beautiful baby at the end of the tunnel.

Your welcome @j8paqu and don't worry about working out or doing anything too strenuous until atleast 3 months post partum! But I would say it takes about 6 months to really heal

@jeremiah27, inched 4 stitches on each side. my son's head was huge haha

It took the doctor over an hour to stitch me, she made the remark that a c section is quicker and requires less stitches. So I got a lot of stitches, I was too scared to ask. I know she used over 7 needles. But yes, you will heal. Even if you have to go to physical therapy or have a surgery. You aren't broken

Thank you I needed this today

@allyk.xmommy, sex or no sex you work the muscles. And doing Keagles are great to do! Thankyou!

@bonniesue, yes, I had 4 stitches

tell me if this is tmi bjt I went 9 months without sex before my son was born, and I relied on keagles. then after my son was born, I waited till like 3 months to have sex. and relied on keagles. now, 2nd pregnancy, and almost 3 years of keagles, I know tmi, but my so says it ridiculous how I stay so "fit". work the muscles and you'll have no worrries

I tore completely! And even I healed.
