Second degree tear??

I had my baby boy the same day! I have been using all the frida mom products… peri bottle, witches hazel, and cooling foam. I’m also wearing a woman’s depends diaper with these products until it heals completely.
My doctor prescribed me pain meds. I don’t take pain meds regularly, so I took half the recommended amour. It worked wonders for my physical pain and mental health during that time!
I took advil every 6 hours for about 3-4 days. I also used the peri bottle every time that helped so much. Freda also makes a healing foam that helped the burning for me
Same here! I made pad-cicles. It’s a tablespoon of unscented/undyed aloe vera gel, and witch hazel sprayed on the aloe, then you just layer it on a new pad and freeze it
I gave birth on the 9th and have a second degree tear, i was in agony from it turns out it was actually infected maybe worth getting your midwife to check it to make sure, my tear is still painful but nowhere as bad as it was x
I had a second degree tear also and used all the mom Frida products and tucks pads. I also used aloe Vera gel on my pad and it helped so much. I had my baby the 19 and think it’s already fully healed. The aloe helped a ton as well as the ice pads!
Ibuprofen and Mama Earth Perineal Spray are my go-tos! I like this spray better than dermoplast, personally. On day 11 with a second degree tear and it is better by the day, but I am still so over the pain and discomfort. Looking forward to further healing! Oh I haven’t done it yet, but I keep meaning to do an Epsom salt soak in the bath tub which may be helpful?
I also just had a little girl on the 25th weighed 10 pounds 6 ounces I have a second degree tear and they had to cut me I do lots of sit baths and use dermoplast
Lidocaine spray! Use dermaplast first, let it dry, and then lidocaine spray!
Also DIAPERS!! DIAPERS!!!!DIAPERS!!!! They are way more comfy then pads
Seconding using the peri bottle while going! Also spraying dermoplast before and after. I also had a second degree tear and my OB advised against using padsicles for more than a few days since the cold can restrict blood flow and impede healing. I did warm water sitz baths a few times per day and that helped
Advil/Tylenol, tucks pads, peri spray bottle and sits bath. It sucks, but it will stop after a few weeks! In the moment it feel never ending discomfort.
I tore two weeks ago when I gave birth nd I’ve been applying coconut oil and tea tree oil. Coconut oil has healing and soothing properties and tea tree oil is antiviral and antibacterial.
Same here and today’s been the worst for pain so far and I don’t understand it. Hoping it heals soon because it’s been awful.
