I couldn’t sit comfortably to drive for 2 weeks. Needed a donut cushion when driving for 8 weeks. If not for the perineal pain (lesser for some people), I could’ve driven once I stopped pain meds.

@UndefiningMotherhood thank you so much 🙏 💓

This is why we try to provide tools and support for de-stressing. But simply saying, “Don’t worry” has never made anyone worry less.

They are BPA free. I can’t speak specifically to phlalates.

So thankful you enjoyed it!

I didn’t watch anything either. And I’d do it again, but there’s so much I wish I’d known going into it.

Thank you so much for this comment! It’s truly heartwarming to know you’re feeling supported and validated. Every stage of the journey is hard in a different way, and it’s always okay to feel that 🤍

Glad it was helpful!

100% it does. This was following a trend, it you’re absolutely right-bottle feeding is an amazing option we’re so lucky to have!

I feel like we’re talking about it in terms of miscarriage and TFMR a lot more recently only because legislation is really negatively impacting that kind of care. But I agree, that has historically been completely ignored, and is still something many people don’t understand! So much more of a message to spread there.

I’m so sorry! Are you in contact with your doctor about it? I found I had to be very forceful to make them listen to me, which I hated, but it was necessary.

I’m 2 weeks post op and still in a lot of pain. @taylerjensen how many weeks did it take to fully recover. I’m definitely ordering a few of the things you recommended. The sitting down is no joke. Thank you for all your recommendations.

@@cristy1rocha it took me more than 6 weeks to feel remotely better. My doctor refused to listen and I ended up with a revision surgery for mesh poking through the site. It was a nightmare.

@@TaylerJensen OMG! No matter how many different things I’m trying to have a bowl movement, it’s not helping much. I called my doctor and was told to continue what I was doing if it doesn’t improve I need to visit the ER. I’m not straining hard, but just the slight push I can feel the pain on the muscle they attached the sling. I’m glad to hear you’re doing much better. I’m regretting getting this procedure done, not my hysterectomy.

@@TaylerJensen😢😢omgg they are still using mesh??😮😮 scheduled for my prolapse in 30 days at the Mayo Clinic. I have been postponing this for the very reason of not wanting the mesh. My doctor at MAYO says they use human cadaver to make a sling. Mesh is no longer used. I would advise you to look into the long-term ramifications of mesh if you’re already having problems, I know there have been many lawsuits and documentaries about this subject. All the best and blessings for your Godspeed healing.

I'm so thankful you find it supportive. I know I sure do, and in a whole new way even since we recorded 🤍

No pain in a very long time! Just had to do a lot to get to a point where intercourse was comfortable again. Pelvic PT + pelvic wand + vaginal valium suppositories (who knew?)

@@UndefiningMotherhood Glad to hear. I am thinking about the surgery since I cant live with a bulge in there. Did it take more than 6 months to have a normal intercourse again? Thank you for sharing all this. I am trying to motivate myself as it is really a very hard step! Bless you!

@@theearthling8178 For me, it took more like 9 months. BUT--I didn't advocate for myself strongly enough. They didn't want to give me vaginal valium because I was nursing, and that was honestly the thing I desperately needed. I tried pelvic pt and a pelvic wand some, but wasn't regular with it. Once I stopped nursing and they gave me the valium suppositories, the muscles released rapidly and things were back to normal within maybe 6 weeks. I should've pushed harder to get them earlier. But if you're not actively nursing, that won't be a problem. Also, I had a hypertonic pelvic floor before, which I don't know if you have. I also had a completely detached muscle they had to reattach, which made my recovery much worse than expected. So more than likely, your recovery will be quicker and easier than mine, and if you do get a really right pelvic floor as a result, you can likely also get your urogyn to support medical interventions that'll really help PT.

Thank you!

You are so welcome

Glad you liked it!

That definitely can be true. And also, they just get hiccups. They get them en utero too. And wow that stuff helps!

How are you feeling?

I’m not sure what you mean. They went in through my perineum.

Sooo important after surgery! Stool softener was enough for me but definitely isn’t for everyone!

Is this 2 scoops at one time? Before you eat breakfast?

@@gmomma1954 I use two scoops at once, three if I need it. I put it in my crystal light that I drink at night or in the morning.

Laying is smart. I was on a donut cushion for about 8 weeks.

Is sitting getting easier? I couldn’t sit without a donut cushion for nearly two months 😳

Oh no! I'm so sorry! How are you recovering otherise?

I did! Thank you!

It couldn't sit without a donut cushion for like 6-8 weeks. NOTHING like tearing after birth. That said, my surgery ended up being much more involved than expected, so I'm not sure what's "normal."

Thank you. I will consult further with my Doctor. @@UndefiningMotherhood

Basically just the prescription version of AZO. The one I used was called nitrofurantoin.

I am so sorry. What is the next step?

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry! I have a bladder sling, but I'm told the surgery likely won't be effective forever.

How depressing, how there is another option.

So thankful it's helpful! How are you feeling now?

How are you now 4 months later?

Wow. Now I want to plan a trip to Montreal!

It's not recommended to have the surgery until you're finished having babies.

So sorry I'm seeing this so late, but if you're still wondering, AMAZING overall support!
