   I had a C section, and I wasn’t given any prescription pain killers! All I was taking in the hospital was 600 mg of Motrin, so they just told me to buy Motrin over the counter. It was enough, I guess. I survived.

   I wasn’t given a prescription after my vaginal delivery. I was told to take Motrin if needed. I never needed it.

   I was given Percasets after my c-section, and told to take both Percasets and Motrin. It was more than enough.

   I had a vaginal delivery with some significant tearing so they gave me ibuprofen 800 mg.
   It was fine, the itching of the stitches healing was worse than the pain!! LOL

   I had a c-section and was given perkaset (probably spelled wrong). I took it as needed for about 2 weeks after delivery. At the hospital I was given a morphine drip! Sounds excessive? I breastfeed so I tried to limit the amount of painkillers that were entering my body. (after reading other posts I forgot, I had 800mg Motrin as well, more than enough)

   Percaset (I have no idea how to spell that) and 600mg Motrin. I took the Perx for a day or two….but the Motrin was really enough after that.

   They gave me Vicodin and Ibuprofin 800 mgs to take home. While I was in the hospital they gave me some pain killers thru the i.v. but I’m not sure what it was!

   I never even took any vicodin the Ibuprofin was enough after my c section.

    With my first two I was given Demerol. With my third and fourth I was given Vicodin. I also had prescription Ibuprofen with all four. I didn't take any pain meds after my fourth c-section because I felt great, other than the cramping when I nursed. Maybe all my nerve endings had been destroyed by the previous three? lol

    I was given percoset to take home after both my c-sections. It worked great to manage the pain, and I was able to switch to just ibuprofen after just a couple days with my first and after a week with my second.

    I was given Percocet and Ibuprofen to take home after my C-section. They only gave me 45 Percocet which was not nearly enough. My doctor had no problem giving me a new prescription for another 60 (not sure why I wasn’t given this many to start with) since I ran out in about 5 or 6 days and when I had my 2 week check-up, she asked if I needed more which I declined.
