Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey Dani. When I had my son I had an epidural so I was numb for a while after. But I had a small tear and it was sore but they gave me numbing spray to spray down there, and they usually give you a water bottle to squirt when you go pee. The nurses didn't take my son anywhere. I guess at the hospital where I delivered they require the mom to room with the infant. I didn't get ANY rest. The nurses and doctors and residents came in about every 1-2 hours to check me and the baby so that kind of sucked. I had to stay at the hospital for 48 hours, again hospital policy when you're a first time mom. When I left I was so excited to get out that we went to the park and walked around. I took it easy though for the most part. Oh and if your in pain they have stuff for you, you just have to ask. And you'll probably get a lactation consultant and they are a lifesaver if you are planning on breastfeeding. She helped me to position my son so it wouldn't hurt to nurse him. Good luck.
