Hi Cindy--

A huge congratulations to you on the arrival of Cooper Lincoln! He certainly is gorgeous!

Re: that first poop. Although I've never delivered a child, I have had rectal surgery...so I've been in extreme pain while attempting to move my bowels. Lidocaine is a topical numbing gel that I was able to use to help ease the pain. I'm not sure if it is prescribed for your situation, but it may help out. Stool softeners help as do high fiber foods/beverages. My favorite right now is high-fiber V8...it has 5 grams per cup!

Best of luck and enjoy your new little boy!

Great story Cindy! Welcome to mommy-hood! It's a wonderful ride. Cooper is a little doll - just gorgeous. Enjoy him.

The episiotomy will get better in time. I had a 3rd degree, not fun.
