Aww I really wanted warm baths! REALLY BAD! But before I left the hospital my Dr. check me again and so sorry no baths until I see you in 5 weeks b/c I had so much tearing in and he cut me on the outside. :eyeroll: He said if I took a bath there would be the risk of water holding inside and infection setting in...:eyeroll: I was not happy. Shower just didn't make think feel better, or nice and clean.

The hospital gave me some numbing spray which was great.

And lots of Motrin!

Oh yeah I forgot about the spray! It worked good too. I was scared to use it at first the nurse handed it to me and i told her I DON"T THINK SO! So she sprayed it on my arm and said see it won't hurt, she was right but it the thought scared the crap out of me!LOL

I had a c-section with Annie...so I didn't get much outside the bleeding afterward. I was a mess, though...post-partum anxiety, staph in my c-section incision (from them rupturing my membranes before we knew I was going to need a c-section), and I bled for 5 months afterward. They actually had to put me on birth control so I'd stop bleeding. Yikes and double-yikes!!
