@bcsweetie, wow with my first daughter I had a bunch of issues I had gestational diabetes I had her at 37 weeks because low fluids she wasn’t going to make it another week and the ultrasound said she weighed almost 9 to 10 pounds so they said I wouldn’t be able to just have her natural because she could get stuck and have more complications and then after having her she had jaundice but now she healthy as can be she just turned 2 in June me n her are so close she always with me and she is so sweet she does bubbles on my tummy messes with her sissy in my tummy she is just so awesome 😎💖💖 I can’t wait for her to see her little sissy

@madalynnelenamom2016 You too!

@jessjanet32, lol girl wish you a safe and healthy pregnancy and labor 💖💖

@madalynnelenamom2016 I'm certainly getting an epidural. lol

@jessjanet32, but I may because I’m low tolerance with pain lol

@madalynnelenamom2016 Great!

@jessjanet32, we are all strong mommies i want to experience natural birth hopefully with no meds because I wouldn’t want more issues with my back

@madalynnelenamom2016 I think I just got a little over-eager with it. I'll know better this time.

@jessjanet32, see that’s what I’m scared of because I want to push on my own but I don’t know if they would let me

@madalynnelenamom2016 I tore down there from pushing too fast and they had to stitch me up.

@jessjanet32, sorry may be stupid question but what is episiotomy

I had to get an episiotomy. Took a few days to heal.... can't remember how many. I recall it being rather unpleasant at times, though.

@claudie_02, omg lol I will for sure have it in mind because I can’t tolerate pain lol

@bcsweetie, yes I can’t wait 😊 I’m so excited 💖💖💖

@madalynnelenamom2016 Lol!!😂😂 & yes they put a catheter in cause i got the Epidural so it num me a bit from down there, but my husband was laughting the whole time cause he said goshh that dr was not even ready & baby came out fast😂😂 after it i was laughting hard even tho it hurted cause when i laugh and make pressure to my Vagina & the stitches haha but is better if you go Vaginal much easier and faster recovery hun, really do pray you go natural. Epidural helps alot ☺☺

@madalynnelenamom2016, tucks, water bottle and a medical spray and ice

@madalynnelenamom2016, They directed the entire time, they told me exactly when to push and when to stop, basically push when the contractions come, but I couldn’t feel the contractions completely because of the epidural (just a little bit because it was wearing off). But the reason I tore was because my baby was big and also he was in a position where his shoulder was pushing out with his head, or something like that

@aengs2, yes it is no matter how we all give birth I want to at least try and I know one day I will tell my girls how I had them and how beautiful it is that I brought them into the world with pain but would do it a million times because they are my everything 💖💖 I am great full and thankful that I could experience labor I’m just so nervous on how it will be or what to expect u know

@claudie_02, omg lol 😂 girl you strong 💪 and they put catheter to omg 😮 😂 I’m going to die 😵😂 my husband said just get a c section lol because ur virgina won’t be the same lol I’m like omg that is false it does but takes time lol and he was i think if I look I’m going to pass out 😂

@madalynnelenamom2016, Thank you! The epidural actually worked for me and it was amazing. I'll definitely be getting it again. But just recovery in general was the worst thing ever. Waiting for my body to heal and go back to normal just sucked in general. It's worth it though!

Omg!! Good luck hun... i have 2Kids both deliver Vaginal, my son he teared me from down there got about 5 stitches & healing went great with this bottle thats helps you num down there & with my daughter she tear me the same cut i already had with my son but i only needed 3stitches recovery was great also!! Took about 2 to 3weeks to heal & yes it hurted at first when doing #1 & #2 lol but after you get that done the 1st time next time it don't hurt. Also i'm on my 3rd baby & will be vaginal also hope so... with my daughter i had contractions and i was dialating @ exact 38Weeks so they put me on petocin to make contractions more frequent then he broke my water put the cather in then came back & made me push i only did 2pushes 2nd push she was out he was not even ready yet 😂😂 & just put gloves on and catch the baby she was ready to get out!!😂😂

@suz., wow do they tell u when to push or can u push when u need to

@hollya1221, o wow Yea the spinal didn’t bother me but when it went in it felt uncomfortable and it was hard not to move but it took a couple of times which was a little painful but people say it’s different epidural and spinal I thought they was the San e

@madalynnelenamom2016 I'll pray that you have a safe and wonderful delivery!

@letmegetagrip, yes my mom works and never has time and my husband well he is the only one that is working so I’m glad he is taking a week off but it was hard with my first daughter when she was born because I was Hospital and he was working and mind u that the nurses was not nice or helpful and I was at hospital alone with no family to help me and when I went home he was working and I was taking car of her by myself with c section cut and then it hard to get up from bed to do things ect.. so I’m hoping everything goes better

The first and only time I delivered was vaginal and they said I had a second degree tear.. I couldn’t feel anything because of the epidural but they gave me stitches that dissolved on their own. I used Dermaplast that the hospital gave me to take home to spray on after bathroom and showers and used the squirt bottle, didn’t wipe just pat down because I did not want the stitches to tear or anything. Healed up just fine and got the clear at my 6 week postpartum appointment.

@aengs2, omg girl u got this lol I’m so nervous I hope it all goes planned I’m scared because I seen my sis in law have baby natural which she had a small 4 pound baby and didn’t tear but she was in so much pain she even tried to get epidural and it didn’t work for her so she was like yea don’t even try to get it because it didn’t work for me lol

@madalynnelenamom2016 that's crazy. My friend has the same problem and she goes in for her second birth in February. She is nervous too

@mct, if I do end up with c section I hope it’s a better recovery I still can’t feel bottom half as much still but in a way I do or if I itch I can’t feel it’s the weirdest feeling lol

@madalynnelenamom2016 definitely I know exactly my husband work from 5am to 5pm m-f and sometimes sat.. which I dont see him alot or we dont spend time together. Our kids miss him all the time. But I defiently know no help sucks.

@hollya1221, Did that hurt because I heard it hurts more than spinal for c section which my spinal they had to do multiple times for it to work and they had to get 2 different anesthesian people so my back has so much issues and sometimes I get migraines and I can’t sit long

I delivered vaginally and got very few stitches. Recovery was still awful though. I'm so scared to do it again. 😭

Both my c sections were healed by the 2 week follow up appointment

@letmegetagrip, o ok now I understand I hope everything goes good I really want a normal birth this time hope everything goes good I’m scared if I have to get another c section because it was a horrible experience because infections and not healing and no help but now we have a 2 year old daughter and my husband is only going to take a week off of work and I have no help what’s so ever so I want to at least have baby natural and heal faster than heal longer with no help u know

@hollya1221, 💖💖 aww congrats on baby girl with my first was a c section so it was totally different which I want to be prepared for either one because I didn’t expect emergency c section because everyone was telling natural birth

@ambers14, o wow is there any relief to help with pain just in case stitches are

@bcsweetie, my due date is August 22 but getting induced August 15 how did ur body do for induction for the first time after a c section what was the experience how did it go for getting induced

@madalynnelenamom2016 I wouldn't say it burns, it hurts, it doesnt feel great, but I focused on my baby instead of the pain. And I used dermoplast and these medicated pads that you put inside your pad it reliefs the itchiness and helps it heal better. Make sure you squirt the bottle of warm water to keep it clean. You dont want your stitches to get infected.

@letmegetagrip, do they bum before they stitch and what can you do for relief

@bcsweetie, what ?

I got stitches both times with my girls. The first time hurt so bad and I had them in for 7 days. There’s a process you should do for relief when you go to the bathroom. With my second, they didn’t hurt at all but I also had them inside. They dissolved by day 7.

I was induced and I had both my children vaginal. My daughter tore me down there I had like 6 stitches if hurt getting them in but I was so focused on my daughter. It took 4 to 6 weeks to heal it just depends if you tear and how bad you tear it doesnt hurt bad its uncomfortable and when it heals it gets itchy.
