Unfortunately I had a four degree tear with my second it took me 2 months to heal from that it was sooooooo painful I…

You can start perineal massages and stretching. Might help.

This hurts my heart for you 😭

@kambam, Alright I’ll try it thanks😊

@phoebesmommy, Lol let me tell you this is worse than anything to me

Did your OB try to do an episiotomy to help??

@phoebesmommy, Nope

I cannot even fathom your postpartum 💩😭😭😭😭

@mommyofaqueen, why the hay not?!?

I didn’t even wanna try to go poo at all I was still up and running though I never not once complained I was out walking everyday

I actually don’t know😂😂

Episiostomies are worse for you @phoebesmommy

@babydiehl2016, Omg I know it was terrible

@kambam, mine prevented a major tear so I will count my blessings lol

Lucky you. Just generally better to tear naturally and heal from that than a made tear. Both are just as painful and bad no doubt @phoebesmommy

I was my doctors first as well her and the nurse that was sent in to evaluate my son was actually arguing while the doctor was trying to stitch me up I will never forget that day

@babydiehl2016, Yeah I couldn’t sit either but I got really tired of laying down all day😂😂so I had to do something

@kambam, I remember reading that tears are preferable. Thankfully w my second I had a very tiny first degree tear and she came like the wind no meds or anything. My first I tore and also had an episiotomy; she came out clawing me 😭

@babydiehl2016, Lol yes that’s how it was for me to😂😂

Lol oh lord. I mean, if you're gonna rip there's really no preventing it. Birth is brutal @phoebesmommy

@babydiehl2016, I wasn’t eating much either my mom and my 2 year old would force me to eat he would tell me to open up and he stuck food in my mouth😂😂he loved that I lost so much blood I was so skinny and pale I didn’t have the energy to chew

I waited also I didn’t feel like I had healed enough I was so scared I literally cried when I decided to try it

@akita_mommy, I ripped because he was too big he was a fat 7 pounder and on top of that he came out side ways

@akita_mommy, Exactly if your gonna tear there is no stopping that best thing to do is try to talk to baby before pushing lol

@akita_mommy, Yes lol maybe your baby will be much nicer to you than mine was to me

Omg sorry girl I had a 2nd degree tear but I felt fine

I had a fourth degree tear with my first born.🤦🏾‍♀️ It was such an unpleasant experience for me😩😩 I had like 30 stitches! Ugh so sorry you’ve been through that too.

@galarzasofia7, Girl at least you felt fine I was in that hospital like pass the drugs😂😂

@nubian_goddess, I’m sorry for you too cootie cats just don’t deserve that

@mommyofaqueen, I was lucky in that aspect but I was in labor for 3 days hooked up to a shit ton of machines lmao I had a crazy ass pregnancy and labor . I’m so happy It was all temporary haha

@galarzasofia7, I was in labor for a week with my first he couldn’t decide if he wanted to come or not😂😂

I’ve always been scared to have a c section I would literally cry
