Still numb 3 days pp?
Question!
Background info:
I’m 3 days pp! This is my first baby and I tore really bad (sulcus tear and an added episiotomy to prevent a 4th degree tear) and also I did get an epidural, which they let run for an extra 2 hours because of the trauma my body had been through. (Lost a lot of blood, 45+ minutes to repair, etc).
My question is about feeling numb physically! Especially around my tailbone and the surrounding area, and kind of more numb on the right side! Is this… normal? I DID accidentally jump while they did my epidural because the needle had poked me really sharply and I didn’t expect it after the initial numbing shots. It wasn’t too big of a jump but the anesthesiologist did say “don’t do that!” So now… I’m scared that maybe I caused myself to have nerve damage or something. 😭 I didn’t notice until we got home last night and I just happened to realize that well, while I can walk around and stuff, just, my backside is pretty numb still!
I don’t know if this is just something that might take a while to wear off, idk. I did message my dr but nobody has answered yet. 🙁
Here is my sweet baby for tax ☺️
