AfterBirth Pains..

[Just4Jesus]

Ok ladies, first I wanted to thank ya'll for all the information about things to take to the hospital for the stay. I did not even think about taking pain meds. Afterbirth pains are so bad for me, I feel like I am in labor again. But I'm a little worried cause I am going to breastfeed. Can I take something with me to the hospital that won't hurt my baby? This is #4, I should have learned a long time ago.

Ibuprofen is safe 800mg is what they'd give you in the hospital--except they charge you some ridiculous amount per pill.

Motrin also, I found the ibuprofen works best for me! They also gave me Vicatin but I never used it.

They gave me big Motrin pills every six hours and Tylenol with Codine every four hours. I was drugged, but it helped a lot.

Thanks so much ladies

Christy when are you due?
I just had #4 and the bf pains were awful but only the first 3 days, and tylenol or ibuprofin worked good enough for me.

800mg of motrin every 6 hours is what they gave me at the hospital..and sent me home with a prescription for it as well...i only needed it a couple days. They offered vicodin and i denied due to breastfeeding..i felt the motrin was enough to take the edge off the worst of the pain.

I was going to say the same thing. I noticed them much mpore with #4 but it was only for about 3 days and the tylenol helped a lot.
