Guest guest Posted November 10, 2001 Report Share Posted November 10, 2001 After I gave birth the one thing I wish I had so badly, and now I also wish I knew to really bother for it looking back in hindsight - was a sitz bath. I was in the hospital for 5 day after giving birth to my son due to him having a very bad case of jaundice (his bilirubin levels were in the 20's) all signs point to that being due to the Vitamin K shot (but we won't get into that here now) ... So for all that time I did not get a sitz bath AND the foam medication I got for " down there " actually inflamed me so very badly that I could not walk, sit, lay down, excrete, anything, without very very severe pain for DAYS (and I DID not tear, yet that Epi-foam stuff only used a few times for one day killed me so badly!). I actually cupped water and lavender oil in my hands in the hospital shower to do a make shift kind of sitz bath area soak .... but anyway .. as soon as I got home I made a real sitz bath and the water was a blend that contained chamomile tea, whole milk (to disperes the next ingredient) and lavender essential oil. Within a day I felt SOOOO much better it was amazing! *Smile* Chris (list mom) Celtic Sea Salt - BIG SALE http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2001 Report Share Posted November 10, 2001 hey all This helps SO much- ick, never heard of epi foam- yikes- I am so sorry!!... With my first we made ice packs by filling condoms with water and sticking them in the freezer- that was good for right after- a good shape to place over the whole yoni- then cool lavender tea compresses. With the boy we did the ice condom again and then cool comfrey and lavender compresses...then i made an aloe vera/lavender/tea tree blend that I slathered on the pads- that was GREAT.
