MSE Parents Club Part 7

Hey SM, hope you feel better soon.

Question: Any tips for easing foof pain? I had a second degree tear, not sure if that is contributing to the aches or if its just general pain after having a baby but it's quite uncomfortable.

I gave up on the bath thing, when I did eventually see a MW (5 days after getting out of hospital) she couldn't suggest anything. I prefer showers anyway but thanks for all your advice.

SM, do you remember I asked about freecycle well I checked our board for the rules and it said about board policy would be 3 days to collect an item so I waited. Well I advertised Wed at 6pm, he emailed me Thurs at 7am, I've emailed twice since but no reply, this afternoon I said if he hadn't replied by tonight I would give to next person. I'm worried if he gets shirty as he now has my mobile no. Can't believe he hasn't answered!

It's nice to be catching up with everyone who used to be on the pregnancy thread Nice to hear your updates as well MM, I'm sorry to say I stopped checking on how you were all doing when you left the thread as it took me so long just to keep up with the pregnancy thread.

jenny, we were the same, tried to keep up with you lot, but couldnt !! Other than a sore foof, hows things going??

I don't think the tear is the problem, I think it might just be my pelvic floor aching, it gets worse if I'm on my feet for too long, think I will go take some paracetamol.

Erin is lovely, she sleeps loads, I have to wake her during the night to feed and OH is making a great dad, her only problem at the moment is a bit of conjunctivitis but it seems to be clearing up now with some drops the GP prescribed . We've really enjoyed this week with just ourselves (no visitors ). Next week OH goes back to work but my mum and sister and her 6 month old are coming to visit for a week so that should be fun.

i had that, the MW said it was like a bruise cos of all the pushing are you quite swollen? drink LOTS of water, i mean a stupid amount, cos it will help to flush the swelling away (and your wee will be nice and weak too so wont irritate!) and arnica is good for swelling and bruises too but i'm not sure you can put it on your foof, but i think you can get tablets unless i completely made that up!!
