Postpartum Pain Relief
Thursday September 18, 2008
Having just had a baby, I can tell you, postpartum is no picnic. There were the physical aches and pains, the teary eyes (mine and baby's) and everything else. I remember being handed a squirt bottle and some fish net panties and thinking, "What on earth should I do with this?" Learn what you can do to make yourself more comfortable, because many women tell me that they simply were not prepared for postpartum and how it felt physically.

Thanks for this..it is always good to be reminded what lies ahead, and what to do to help relieve it!!
I loved the herbal sitz bath that came with my birth kit. The hot water felt wonderful, and the herbal bath stuff smelled great and was really soothing. I attribute those hot hot baths every night after the first few days for how quickly I bounced back. That and doing nothing but baby snuggling and eating!
