After Sadie's birth, I felt almost back to 100% a few hours post delivery. Although, the first trip to the bathroom was rough, again, as I fainted while sitting on the toilet. (With Emma, a lot of blood escaped while I was walking to the bathroom, making me faint.) I had another second degree tear and was a little sore in that area for about 48 hours.
My OB doctor gave me the okay to leave the next day; however, we stayed because Sadie had to stay 48 hours. Not to be too graphic, but I pooped at the hospital and it didn't hurt! (With Emma, it hurt to pee and poo for about 2 months post delivery and I was using stool softeners for several months.)
Needless to say, recovery was a much quicker turn around this time and I have been moving around very well. I lost all that I had gained (30 pounds) within 2 weeks and am using a belly binder throughout the day to get my ab muscles working again.
