Just an FYI, I had LOTS irritation "down there" starting about 2 weeks PP. Turns out I was havingareaction to disposable maxi pads. I switched to cloth and its all good!!
I used to 'roid cream from HerbLore (google it, she is awesome!) and its great. Not a cure, but really nice!

Hi,
I'm reviving this thread to see how everyone is doing.

My doula came to visit to day and told me I had a "traumatic" birth. It helped to know I wasn't in pain for nothing!

She also said my 2nd degree tearing is probably closer to 3rd degree but that the OB didn't want to admit it. She said the OB was really rough getting the baby out.

It does explain why, at 3 weeks post p. I am still hurting "down there".

How's everyone else?
