My due date is tomorrow and I am pregnant with my first, so of course she isn't making any moves to come out just yet. Anyway I am really nervous about the post-delivery soreness and pain in the nether regions. I tore on my wedding night (was a virgin) and so I know I'm destined to tear from the baby. So what is the best advice you have or best remedies you've found to help heal the wounds?

I had a bit of a tear after delivering my daughter last year... and to be honest, my best friend was the spritz bottle or whatever they call it! It's not practical to be washing yourself and taking baths all the time, and that bottle is great to use after you go to the bathroom. Soaking in a tub was the best healer for me... though the tylenol 3 didn't hurt either. And ya never know... with a good doctor and some luck, you might not tear. I wish you the best... take care.
