how long were you in labor for your first child and did it go fast once you were in active labor ??

A little over 7hours all together from me being admitted to her being born💝

@katlovesj, I wasn't to bad. I forgot about the early labor until I went to get induced and then I had family and friends coming in and out all day so that helps we were telling jokes and playing games so it's not really bad

I don't have any creams, I just have to let the perineum get strong again basically:/ because of my tear I'm probably going to have to have a c section for my next kid because of the damage done Down there

nope not anymore! it was painful for maybe the first 5 days. after that was just tender

@alexiswronkoski is it hard to wash down there

@alexiswronkoski

is there any cream u can put down there u poor thing

8 weeks until all the stitches healed. I'm 3 months pp and still super sensitive and sex still hurts a bit

@alexiswronkoski dang how long was the recovery process

I had an epidural but it stopped working literally 5 minutes before I had to push so I pushed (and tore) all natural. doc cut me with no lidocaine cause he didn't know it wore off completely. got 4th degree tear and 50 stitches from it all.

@alexiswronkoski did u have your little one natural or epidural

44 hours of labor and pushed for 25 minutes

@jessyleigh did it inpatient? I am worried I am going to be so fusturted any advice

yea really lol and I just had a class and it seems like I'm going to be really inpatient @raquely

Early labor started at 38 weeks and active labor was 23 hours

dang that's short @raquely
