I'm a stay at home mom to 2 little ones, and I have an adult child.
I had stitches in hooha after the birth of all my kids and I never needed anything more then super strength motrin after birth. My first was au natural no drugs whatsoever. The other 2 were epidurals. Epi's are the best thing EVER!!!!
I quit cold turkey with my pregnancies (the 1st I hadn't started drinking yet).
Congrats on the wee one!!!
