Yay for the new addition!!! I’m very happy for the whole Zoot family. And I use the same place for my obgyn that you use and they will give you a refill for pain medicine. Actually they will give you one rather easily. I wouldn’t try to hoard them and hurt…just take them and call to get a refill. I promise they won’t judge you! welcome home and can’t wait to see pictures!

First-Congratulations!!!!

Second-yikes! I don’t know how many pain pills I was sent home with, but I have extras, and I took them round the clock for at least 3-4 days. They had me alternating Tylenol + codeine with 600 mg ibuprofen. I had morphine for for about 12 hours although I think they did try to do without that, but they wouldn’t let me out of recovery until the pain was controlled and I let them know in no uncertain terms was that pain controlled with the anti-inflammatories they started with.

I’d take what you have though-rationing them and ending up going through pain to have some left would suck worse than running out and wishing you still had them.

I too had a C Section and had gotten more pain killers when I had my wisdom teeth removed, and they were tiny compared to the 9 lb baby I had removed.

Congratulations! I can’t wait to hear what it is like to be a mother of three. HOLY CRAP.

Zoot – take your pain pills and don’t be afraid to ask for more. Fortunately my Dr sent me home with a solid 2 weeks worth of vicodin – meaning I could actually take 1-2 pills every 4 hours if needed – and when I ran out I asked for more…although by the time I filled it I didn’t really need it anymore. Use what you have and don’t feel ashamed if you need more. Call the nurse and tell her you are in pain and want a refill..Motrin just isn’t cutting it.

AndyZ is a doll! I am so glad that you are going to get to bring him home. You guys are such a great little family!! Thanks for sharing with us!

OMG I so wish I was joining you in the haze of poop and spitup- that of my own very stubborn, as-yet-unborn baby. Congratulations and good luck squirreling away those pain pills!

You’re welcome to my vicodin – I have a huge untapped prescription from my surgery that I can’t use because it makes me puke. Great. My choice was PAIN! or PUKING! blech…

But YAY! for being home – hopefully that will help some with the pain…

Yay for being home! I know just after I’d had Meghan, I couldn’t wait to get home. I was in for four days overall and being at home was the best thing ever. I hated being in hospital.
