Just got home!
Hey All,
I wanted to let you know I got home from the hospital a few hours ago. I feel pretty good, definitely sore. My husband helped me get a shower- 1st time I've washed my hair in 3 days, I feel like a new woman!
So, a few questions-
I'm still reeeally feeling bubbly. Normal I suppose. I also just had my first BM, and it's diarrhea. When should I be concerned? Knock on wood I'm not having a hard time getting my liquids in.
Also, when I eat, since I came home on purees, should I be measuring my food? Or can I eat whatever amount as long as I'm comfortable and I take it slow? I don't even have any idea what a "ridiculous" amount might be?
So sorry for playing a million questions. Any input, as always, is appreciated. Thanks!

Congrats & the gas is normal. you can take gas ex chewables. also you should be eating between 4-6 oz an hour plus your water. The water is the most important right now and just sip sip sip all day long. as you get into more solid foods, your BM will be firmer. Just remember to walk around as much as possible while at home.
