Hi all;
I was talking to a friend the other day who has just had her second bub.
She was telling me that the afterpains of the uterus contracting and all that are really painful this time round. Apparently the lady she was sharing with told her this is normal and the midwives and nurses all agreed to!
My friend actually advised me to get a script for pain relief from my ob on my next visit, and if they dont get me one i should ask the hospital for a script before i leave after having bub!

So it is normal for these pains to be more painful than the first time? And what pain relief can I use for it?

Thank you in advance!

Justine
