Natural delivery

Hi mummies, is it true that u will experience very painful peeing and pooping after a vaginal delivery? I wanted to go for natural birth but my in law aunts keep scaring me about their “burning/painful” pee and poo experience after a natural delivery. #advicepls #firstbaby

Go for natural. Your recovery will be faster. It stings for a bit but manageable. Normally you'll experience constipation after birth but nothing to worry about as you'll be given some med to ease the constipation. I gave birth 2 mths ago and I did not feel any stinging unlike my previous births and I pooped as per normal. I also walked as if I didn't give birth despite having some complications and I was under many meds. Very fast recovery I must say.
