Watching this girl talk about sleeping in and whatever after having this kid is making me wonder. I always figure you'd be really crampy and uncomfortable
and anxious and you'd have to be changing that giant pair of bloody depends right after you have a baby. If you've had a kid, tell me about it.
How uncomfortable are you after giving birth?

But don't you have to get up like every 30 minutes to change your own diaper?

You still get contractions for a little while afterwards because your uterus is contracting back to normal size so that's uncomfortable. They come and
check on every now and then and press on your stomach and that hurts too and trying to lay there comfortably in practically a diaper with all that blood coming
out isn't so fun either |

Yea, you do. They give you these stretchy underwear to wear and you wear the bigass pad on that. But with both kids I leaked on my bed and gown a little bit
and I was embarrassed, even though I'm sure it happens all the time. The worst part is the first time you go to the bathroom after having the baby, the
nurse comes in and squirts your area down with water to clean it up and then everytime after that you do it yourself. They also give you these cold pads to put
on top of your pad to help the burning down there afterwards. It's really not a pretty sight.

I always used to ask this girl I worked with questions...like, all the time lol. She was the first one who told me about "after birth," and how they
have to push on your stomach and reach in to get it all out and stuff. I was like WTF?!? FUCK THAT!

God, people who have had babies are members of some secret club. There are so many gross things you never hear about.

I had c sections so i didn't see my babies until they were already wiped off and i didnt see any after births or anything. Also they had me on a morphine
drip so I didnt feel any of the contractions people are talking about..lol The first night you can't sleep though, I dont know if its the mother instinct
or what but every time she moved or I heard a noise I woke right up

I did it all natural however after my last one I did take a demiral shot after he was out. Yes you bleed and yes you sting badly when your acidic pee hits raw
skin. You wear Victorian's secret underwear and have large blood clots for a about a week or two. Nursing is what hurt me the most, as I had horrible
contractions those first few weeks. I would do it a million times over

I was the most uncomfortable after the first one. I had to have an episiotomy with him and had a bunch of stitches. I had not only to wear 2 or 3 pads at a
time the first few days but I wore an ice pack down there as well. The cramps went away after a day. The uterus has to contract back down to size. The only
part of that that hurt was when the nurses pushed down and massaged it to make it go quicker.

I got pregnant two weeks after giving birth so as long as you don't require "repair work" your usually good to go and normal a week or so after.
I notice how no one even touches the feeling of your first bowel movement after, now that is hell! |

If I ever have kids...which, I hate kids so I don't know if I will even have them. But if I ever do, I want to be drugged IMMEDIATELY. As soon as it's
possible...give me the drugs. Afterward, I want a constant and steady stream of vicodin or whatever else will make me loopy and happy. Forget about the
baby...the nanny can take care of it until my vicodin high wears off 3 weeks later.
