[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was given plenty of pain meds for my scheduled C, so I don't know what you're talking about...[/quote]

I was told directly from nurses at the hospital tour they only give Tylenol unless you really really need something stronger and when going home you may only get a few stronger pain meds.. this is OP. [/quote]
That was my experience with a vaginal birth, but are you sure that’s the policy with c-sections? If so, that’s nuts…but unfortunately, believable. I herniated a disc in my back and was incapacitated and my PCP was on vacation, so I had to see a doctor who didn’t know me at all. I was in agony and she prescribed 5 pain pills.[/quote]

Maybe I should double check. I stayed 1 week after my second pregnancy and that was vaginal. My recovery doesn’t seem to be the norm since I have really bad hip pain. I almost dropped the baby in the hospital because my legs gave in. Since sitting makes the hip pain worse I stand most of the day. I was still shaky after delivery and dh couldn’t stay the night. I couldn’t sleep at all so eventually I asked for a stronger pain med. The doctor resisted at first and suggested that I do physical therapy while I was in the hospital! I insisted I need something stronger while I am in the hospital. Dh also brought the big pregnancy pillow and that helped a lot. I do recall I had to use a wheelchair to get to the NICU. I have no way of knowing which doctors I will have as I am at a big practice. I do feel awkward bringing up pain meds with my doctor now. Postpartum at the hospital the doctor who was checking on me was with another practice. I didn’t have any sort of relationship with him at all and he kept telling me all I need is Tylenol. I told him since he’s a man and hasn’t given birth or had hip pain he doesn’t know what I need. He argued with me for awhile but eventually said I could have a stronger pain med so I could sleep.
