Ppp. I had a very traumatic labour and spent my first night at home with baby last night. I can hardly walk/sit as it is because I tore so bad, I had lots of other complications too which are causing a fair bit of pain. At the moment I’m also having “afterpains/afterbirth contractions” they are horrendous (second baby) and almost as bad as the real thing. I’m doubled over everytime I have one and I’m trying things to stop the pain but nothing is working. Anybody got any advice??

Try wearing an extra pad down below, it helps cushion the stitches a bit more. Alternate between paracetamol & ibuprofen for the after pains – try to take paracetamol every 6hrs & ibuprofen every 8hrs (I.E. paracetamol 6am 12pm 6pm 12am, ibuprofen 7am 3pm 11pm). Hopefully this will keep your pain relief at its maximum. Speak to GP/MW if you need anything stronger
