I had a small tear during labor on the 5th and today after going home my tear is 100 times more painful since I don’t have any more meds and not being at the hospital. I took Tylenol and I’ve been using the benzocaine they gave me at the hospital (spraying directly on the pad) but I’m in so much pain I just woke up from a nap and busted into tears.
Anyone have any other recommendations on pain relief? My doctor isn’t in the office until tomorrow.
You could make some postpartum popsicle. Aloe Vera and witch hazel on a pad and frozen!
The tucks cooling pads. Mostly anywhere. Drugstore, targets walmart etc
Ask if they can give you a sitz bath. I was supposed to get one but they forgot mine at discharge. You can alternate warm and cold compresses. Sit on a pillow and keep spraying liberally. The witch hazel pads also helped me.
When I was in pain it was because they stitched me up so tight I did warm sitz baths to ease it a lil I didn't have pain meds either
My friend tore & said ice packs were her best friend, hope you get some relief & start feeling better.
You can take Tylenol and Ibuprofen at the same time. 1000mg tylenol and 800 ibuprofen at one time is the max.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
@penelope127, they gave me some other type of spray that’s like it. They told me to spray in pads instead of directly on skin
