I hate to even talk about having a baby because he is not even sure if I can. I am trying not to think about it. I understand what you are going through with the pain. I am having very bad pain since the surgery. My doctor suggested motrin would help and as you know that is a joke. I don't know of anything else that would help you. I am still pretty new to this. All I can suggest is that if it is unbearable, you may need to go to the ER to get something to help. Sorry! My email is up top if you want to chat. Hope you feel better.
