Take a pain killer half an hour before nursing.Even the one I passed, which was fucking massive, just required that we keep an eye out to make sure it didn’t happen again. This REALLY helps on the first couple days after giving birth. Change the pad out as soon as it’s thawed completely. This will help with the pain as well as reduce swelling. Let one thaw slightly and use it on top of another pad. Another great pain reliever? Dampen some pads and freeze them. If you’ve had stitches, sitz baths DO help relieve the pain.Tampons can cause severe infection, not to mention, you probably don’t want to be shoving anything up there any time soon. But the more knowledge you arm yourself with, the more in control of your situation you’ll be.
And if you missed something, that’s okay. It is the single most empowering thing you can do for yourself. People don’t expect you to know anything, don’t teach you anything, and then make you feel like you’re totally ignorant and a burden for your lack of knowledge when THEY WON’T SHARE.įucking learn EVERYTHING you can when it comes to childbirth, girls. The point I’m trying to get across is that this shit is so common - women not knowing this stuff is so expected, and it keeps getting reinforced. I did, and after a long pause she goes, “Okay, yeah, that’s a little big.” So, sounding extremely put upon, she asked me to open the door. I know what big is.” She hadn’t even looked. So I called for the nurse and through the door told her I had passed a huge clot, and her response was - “It’s not big. The point is, the next morning I passed a clot the SIZE OF ANOTHER PLACENTA I KID YOU NOT, and I know what is and is not normal. It took three more tries until I could sit up.Īnyway, that’s not the point. I lost so much blood that by the first time they sat me up to go to the bathroom, I fainted. So I used a hot water bottle, without the nurses knowing, and it caused me to bleed even more. And they don’t give you anything for the pain. My post birth contractions were so bad after the birth that it felt like full transition labor. What I DIDN’T know, was that I had caused it. At this point I already knew this could happen - it’s normal. More TMI - I passed a MASSIVE clot after my fourth birth. It can last from three to six weeks (possible longer) and it tapers off. this kind of craftsmanship dates back to the 10th century and is generally regarded as the precursor of porcelain)īleeding is inevitable after birth - your uterine wall is shedding a fuck ton of lining.
they’re a key part of Chinese tea culture more so in the south than north and can be worth millions. (double note: what he’s making is a traditional Chinese clay teapot, with this kind of clay specifically from Zishahu. (note: he’s speaking in a very formal/flowery manner that’s incredibly hard to convey into English but this is the essence of what he’s saying) Even your smallest compliments are the greatest support for me. In the future I hope that I will try to update/help traditional culture grow. Even though my work is very dirty and tiring, traditional culture needs the new generation to continue its legacy and help it grow ever larger.
My ancestral home is Zishahu and growing up and listening/watching my father I have learnt this craft, now playing with dirt/mud has become my job as an adult as well. Hello everyone, I am a traditional craftsman from Yixing in Jiangsu province. Translation of what he’s saying in case anyone cares:
