One more question....

Aside from the contraction pain, how bad is the "down there" pain afterwards from a vaginal delivery? Nobody really says and I was wondering if it is painful to walk afterwards, although I realize you are on bed rest for a certain amount of time. Is it better to ask for an epesitomy or do they just do that?
