I'm 2 weeks postpartum, but stopped taking the medicine like 2 days ago it was making me way too sleepy, you just have to listen to your body x
I took Tylenol & ibuprofen around the clock immediately post op through about 1 week pp. Then I switched to just ibuprofen as needed (1-2x/day) for a few days. I'm now almost 3 weeks pp and am not taking anything anymore.
7-10 days max
They didn’t give me any pain medicine after leaving the just told me to take Tylenol and Motrin ..helped a little bit especially after the first 2 weeks
I took it religiously for about a week with my first every 3 hours alternating tylenol and ibuprofen. With the second, i took it for about 2 weeks, but it was just as needed.
I took advil and tylenol for the first week or so then i stopped.
I never took mine. I have a high tolerances for pain. Plus, I didn’t want to take any opioids. Heard too many horror stories
Like 2 Advil a day for about a week I think
I did tylenol religiously for almost 3 weeks and then slowly came down to nothing over the next few weeks.
I took it for about two and a half weeks or so, I try not to take medication too much so I would only take it like once a day
I was only taking pain relief some days by 2 weeks pp, and hardly at all by 3 weeks pp, just on days I over exerted myself and/or pulled something. I still have medication left over.
2 weeks
My first week home I took the Percocet, then I weaned myself to Tylenol and motrin .
Stopped after a few days but everyone is different

Didn’t really need to take pain relief often honestly. I took it like maybe 6 days total, like every other day or two
A month
I took mine (paracetamol and ibuprofen) for a long time - think I finally stopped at around 4 weeks. I found the recovery quite a struggle and the meds helped!
I took it up to 2 weeks after .. just remember everyone’s pain thresholds and recovery is different so just keep taking it until you feel like you don’t need it anymore xx
about 8-9 days, after that i felt fine
@Shawn ooo like what?
I only took dihydrocodeine on day 1 & 2. After that I just took paracetamol until around 2 weeks but after day 4 it wasn’t regular it was more adhoc as and when
Regular Paracetamol and ibuprofen for about 2 weeks postpartum. And lots of rest
I wasn't taking anything, I don't like medicine
