Postpartum pain

Hihi, I know is an awkward question but does it hurt to pee and poop after delivery? It is my first pregnancy and I am anxious about all the postpartum pain. 😩

If you had an epi, I'll be honest, yes it hurts to pee and especially to poop. But you'll get the hang of it for sure. Drink lots of water so you'll not have any constipation.

I've had both epi & natural. Natural only stings but epi is much more painful cos of the stitches & after the numbness wears off. Depends whether your gynae needs to cut a bit or not
