QuestionI had a baby 7 1/2 weeks ago. It was natural although i was induced on my due day, i had iv drugs and an epidural. I didnt tare or need stitches. everything went really fast and really easy. But i still notice im a little soar down there and i almost feels like i was riding a bike and fell down on the bar, or i sprained my down there.. is it natural to be still feeling like that.. it was way worse right after birth and its eased up, but is still slighly painful, specually when i urinate.
Answerhi missy!
congratulations with your new baby!
yes, its totally fine that you are still sore..are you still bleeding at all? i am guessing also, that you are having pain when you urinate, sometimes when the foley catheter is in place it can cause some swelling and pain..i would take ibuprofen 600mg every 6-8 hours..drink lots of water, and eat well (fruits and veggies for optimizing the healing process!!)
