Health worries

I think it is no secret with new mothers that after giving birth to your little bub, especially if it is through the normal way, you are bound to end up with hemorrhoids. It sounds pretty awful I know but I, for one, was not spared. All that pushing and bearing down just made all my veins pop out. That is why it is so difficult to sit down on your bottom after the delivery. And it can go on for weeks! It is just terrible.

Having a little lifesaver on the side, they say, can ease one's discomfort. Unfortunately, at that time, I was not able to purchase one for myself because I did not know it would hurt that much. Well, I should have probably bought some topical creams instead to relieve me of my pain. Tablets or pills would definitely be out of the question because I was (and still am) breastfeeding Erin. Yeah, maybe I should take this into account the next time we have another baby. The big question now is when. Ha! Not anytime soon, that's for sure!
