hiya all

Just a thought... my sister told me this so I thought I'd tell you lot just incase you didn't know it!

I had stitches so it helped loads but it works too for normal births without too...

When you go for a wee after it usually stings, also when you wipe it will feel a bit sore so... buy a cheap plastic jug and fill it with warm water and pour it down your front bum after weeing... $:\$ ) then use a hairdryer to dry yourself.

I found this a godsend! just make sure it's not cold water as that could be quite a shock!! $:\$ )

hope it helps someone! lol $:\$ )

Lavender is good to put in your bath for stitches and may help chill you out a bit as well. I was told you can wee in the bath cos urine is sterile but could never bring myself to do it tho! Agree hairdryer is a godsend, just remember to hold down the cool button!

lol yes must have a cool option! $:\$ ) you don't want burnt pubes on top of everything else! heeheehee!

I used lavendar in my bathes too... loads of people kept saying to use salt, but the midwives said that's very old fashioned now & it's proven to make stitches dry and shrink therefore making them tighter! ouch!! glad I kept to the lavendar. x

Hi ya, i would get the o/h to dry down below for me. he he!!!

When i can no longer shave down there he is going to use hair removal cream & do it for me. I know we sound odd but im just very comfortable with him!!!

hi tess.. it doesn't sound odd.. my dh shaves my front bum and legs cause it's so hard to bend over now and i'm only 28 weeks! lol $:\$ ) xx

Hahahahahahahahahaha, i havent heard that for years! Front bum, thats so funny!

Im only 22+6 & i find it so hard painting my toe nails & i wont let any1 else touch my feet bcos i had a rta when i was 12 & my right foot has pins & plates in my ankle & i have a condition called dystonia in my toes (on my right foot caused by trauma) & it makes them bent & they look odd compared to my left & i feel ashamed ppl seeing it so i always wear socks. But to make myself feel better i have always painted my toe nails but it makes me breathless now!

Oh dear*

if you have it done enough (couple years now) it kills the nerve endings and it doesnt hurt that much and is worth it!!!!
