Girl I didn’t feel when he gave me the stitches but man I felt that big ass needle prick right before my son came out. Lordddd I can’t imagine how bad that would feel without a epidural.. and needles don’t bother me ever but that one.. ekkkkkk.

C sections make me nervous.. and awww that’s amazing congrats!! 🎊 and yay!!!!

Same.. going to the bathroom was the worse part for me.. I used the water bottle for along along time.. and healing was slow for me also.. I was so worried my vagina was gonna look like Frank stein lol honestly still can see the stitches marks when I look 😒 my fiancé says he doesn’t.. lol

@itsamemario, that actually doesn’t sound that bad. For me with the 3rd degree the healing seemed slow and just lots of pressure.. i heal slow though, and everyone is different but I feel like it might be better to have a episiotomy then tear otherwise why cut.. idk 🤷‍♀️

@joyfulmom, i don’t know what i had with my other kids but i guess each person is diff n so is their healing

@itsamemario, definitely agree!

@mamabear008, Awww! No meds, u go girl! That’s sweet though, I won’t lie I cried like a baby once my son was on chest. That yr was the hardest yr for me and it all just went away with that beautiful moment 💙

I can’t imagine no meds though. I was induced and once I could feel the contractions at 5cm every min it was rough

@joyfulmom, lol well I went into labor around 7:30 and got to the hospital by 8:45 and by then I was already 9cm so it was nothing from them to do.

@mamabear008, oh man that’s crazy.. ur a champ!!

🤣 I’m still happy to push this baby out sooner than later now

@bunsinmyoven, I’ll cross my fingers that this post hasn’t jinxed you. 😂

@mariapb, bless you 🤣🤣🤣

Yea right, I would worry abt infection way more. I had 3rd and the pressure to goo number #2 sucked. Stool softeners are amazing

@kes253, wow!! And she’s ok, right? That is a lot going on and I definitely get that. I was induced also..

my issue was I just wouldn’t dilate, turns out my water was broken for 3/4 days before my doctor appointment n sent me to hospital bc my son blocked it. I didn’t feel any contractions till I finally hit 4cm after being induced for 2 days. I was abt to have a c section in the morning.. but the contractions halfway through the day hit me! Man that was bad! Every min straight back and butt pain like hell! I didn’t feel much in my stomach.

I wish I could compare induced to natural labor.. but hopefully in the future!

@joyfulmom, Oh dang ! That’s crazy ! I’m hoping my epidural works this time around lol and yes ma’am she was fine right after that got her to breathe and she’s great now , healthy happy pre schooler 🥰

@kes253, awww yay! That’s amazing! Very happy to hear that! And yes I hope it works for u also! I can’t imagine natural off the experience I’ve had.

@joyfulmom, oh no I know 🤣 I’m just clenching my vagina thinking about whether or not I will tear 😰😂

😂😂 my thoughts exactly.

@bunsinmyoven, awww oh I’m sorry, I would too if I was expecting rn lol
