I know I'm gonna get totally grossed out by the answer, but what is that all about?

Breaks up chunks (clots) of blood from your uterus and makes them expell from your vagina. Happy you asked? Haven't changed your mind about having kids, have you?

The RN's usually push on your stomach after a vaginal delivery. It helps eliminate anything in the uterus and it hurts like a mo' fo. C-sectioners don't have to worry about it.

It didn't bother me when they did this.

Aren't you glad that you weren't there when the nurses came in? You saw how rough I looked. It's not all pretty. Hell, other than the baby itself, it's all ugly. FROM START TO FINISH!!!!!!

On Baby Story it doesn't look that bad.... :livinginfear:

Screw the "miracle" bs, having a baby is gross!!

It isn't.

Just remember to massage your stomach throughout the day as the nurse shows you and it won't be painful. Well, at least for me it wasn't.

Of course not. It's a public show and they're going to sugar coat it all. Be prepared for the worst pain of you life. Be prepared to have who knows what come out of your body.

Massage? More like beat.

You had mean nurses then. That didn't happen to me with either child and if it was going to happen, it would have with child #1 being born in a Navy Hospital.

Hell, just hearing about it makes my stomach turn like you wouldn't believe. I can't even begin to imagine being knocked up :triplefaint:

Screw the "miracle" bs, having a baby is gross!!

I remember when I thought too deeply about a person growing inside of me and it freaked me out really badly. Like right now my stomach/uterus is empty but there could be a baby g r o w i n g inside of me.

How long did you bleed afterwards? How did your stomach look afterwards? :shrug:
