[quote=Anonymous]A few more thoughts for you OP. Definitely rest as much as you can and don’t walk or stand excessively or lift heavy if you can avoid it. I also liked this balm and the corresponding spray. And Peri bottles when using the bathroom with warm water were soothing before wiping. Keep your stools soft (fiber, stool softener) and don’t strain when you have a BM. I found it helpful to use folded toilet paper to gently support the perineal area when pushing for a BM to send the force back towards the rectum (and to minimize strain on the perineum). Definitely take it easy and get a pelvic floor PT referral at your 6 week check. https://www.amazon.com/Earth-Mama-Perineal-Pregnancy-Postpartum/dp/B000JVEEZC[/quote]
