Are yours better already? Mine was as big as chestnut (no kidding!) and there were more than one. When I first saw them, I thought that labour gave me testicles! Hehehe. Mine are still there; am contemplating about having them removed, which will probably cost another 4k to 5k. Further made worse by infection around my stitches...I was in total pain last week that I couldn't sit to breastfeed and am now expressing milk for Ewan :( Mind sharing how your piles got better? I'm desperate here. Hey Jac, I had and am still suffering from piles. Are yours better already? Mine was as big as chestnut (no kidding!) and there were more than one.

I bite my lips till it bleed internally. I also didn't include in this story about my horrible piles aftermath. I stayed extra 2 days because of it and was in hell! :( The clock was just right in front of me, and I was staring at it wondering why time was passing so slow. And the damn pain coming so fast. But compared to yours, I guess mine was nothing... I was blessed for the fast delivery, but no doubt it was crazily pain as well. I bite my lips till it bleed internally.

It's very courageous of you to have gone through the experience without any pain relief. I salute your high pain threshold. Very lucky of you to be blessed with a fast labour as well. Mine was painfully long - dilated to 1cm in 13 hours, then another 4cm in 7 hours. The pain was so traumatizing for me that my whole body shivered and became numb. Enthonox didn't help at all. The final straw came when I collapsed on the way to toilet and we ordered an epidural, which further slowed down the labour. Fifteen hours later, Ewan came. I'm sure you'll agree with me that Iseeing our babies makes every pain and torture worth it :) Well done, Jac! It’s very courageous of you to have gone through the experience without any pain relief.
