[quote=Anonymous]I had a 9 lb son vaginally (bad 3rd degree tear) with lots and lots of amazing drugs 2.5 years ago. I'm 100% fine now but I'm trying to see how typical my recovery was as I get ready to give birth to #2 in a few months. 1. I was bed the entire time I was in the hospital with very low blood pressure hooked up to IVs and in a lot of pain and on pain meds 3. After I got home and a day or so of being ok I became too ill to get out of bed for about 5 days 2. I was unable to have a bowel movement for a week and only was able to after being admitted into the hospital 3. For a month it took me about 45 minutes each time I had to urinate and that was using a peri bottle etc 4. I bled, needed pain spray and witch hazel pads for about a month 5. I was not able to sit without a special cushion for about a month. 6. I was not allowed to drive for about 8 weeks 7. I had tailbone pain for over a year 8. Sex was VERY difficult and almost impossible for many months[/quote]
