I had a ten day prescrip for Motrin600 from the ob... MIL is a nurse and brought me Motrin800 (i broke in half) and took that for a few days after...
How long did you take PP pain meds?
-
Maybe 2 weeks? I was on Norco and other stuff and it wasn't working so I just stopped. My pain wasn't manageable but I was sick of telling my Drs that it wasn't working.
-
I never took pain meds.
Not a big medicine fan, plus I think I was high off baby. -
i took them for 2 days but stopped when i got home from the hospital. i'm also not a medicine fan. the pain was manageable and i only had a small tear.
-
Just a few days. Maybe a week max?
-
10-12 days for the "good stuff" and then lots of ibuprofen after that because I was still sore
-
3 weeks of motrin800 (last week did 400 sometimes) but stopped my tylenol w/ codeine after a few days bc i didnt like it knocking me out!
i had a bad tear(s), perineal & i think labia
-
With my first I never took anything but it was a natural birth so I didn't need it, for #2 I had a c/s so I took percocet and ibuprophen for a week and then just ibuprophen for 6 weeks I think.
-
A week. But it was just strong Motrin. I took some hydrocodone twice but it made me so woozy and nauseous and then had a panic attack the second time I took it so I never took it again. My pain was never too terrible, though, thank goodness.
-
I didn't get pain meds (except they had me on an epidural for like 6 hrs after delivery). I was told to take 1 Tylenol and 1 Advil as needed when I got home. I probably did that 2-3 times a day for about 3 wks.
-
I took oxycodone and ibuprofen with my first but realized a few days later that it was constipating me, so I stopped and just continued with ibuprofen. When the oxycodone wore off I felt like I was hit by a bus!! (I had a 24 hour labor and 3 hours straight of pushing.) The second time... uhh I don't remember! I think I was just on ibuprofen.
ETA: haha. I just remembered. I was on fioricet because of my spinal headache. Fioricet contains acetaminophen so I alternated that and ibuprofen.
-
I took motrin for the first two-two and a half weeks...at first it was for soreness, then it was for mastitis, then it was for general breast pain related to breastfeeding.
-
I took Motrin the first night as pitocin after having P causes crazy cramping (wasn't able to immediately bf). Otherwise I didn't take anything.
-
I took maybe three percocets after baby (all at night and more to knock me out than for pain). I'm now 2.5 weeks post partum and taking Advil once a day but I only take one regular 200mg pill. The Motrin600 that the doctor gave me makes me really sick to my stomach.
-
when they ran out! I had a million stitches and was going to use those babies until I couldn't anymore. after they ran out I was taking Advil until the pain wasn't so sharp, maybe 6-8 weeks. but I was still in pain/had hyper-sensitivity until 6-8 months pp.
-
I took the Motrin for almost a week post partum, maybe 5 days after I was home.
-
I only took it for a couple of days. I wasn't really in any pain... until my skid marks started healing and then I would scream every time I peed... then I wish I had some pain meds.
-
Trying my hardest to take less than full doses of percocet and motrin since im BF.
Still in so much pain though.
