Hi Mels, how are you feeling? I hate being home on Saturday nights, but there aren't too many places that you can go to with an eight month old that has diarrhea!
In response to your question below about lochia and stitches....my stitches healed in about 7-10 days. The lochia tapered off in 3-4 weeks only to start again because I carried some heavy stuff and did a lot of work around the house. So, take it easy and treat your body kindly for at least 6 weeks. About sex, unfortunately it is better to wait at least until 6 weeks or until your doctor okays it. So be patient!!
