Recovery

Hi everyone- I had an Episiotomy around a week ago. I’m still experiencing discomfort and some itchiness that I can’t seem to shift. Has anyone else had this? It’s starting to wear me down

I did! 🫶🏻 it gets better, I’m 3 weeks pp and seems to feel pretty “normal” now x

Yes same as Georgia … I’m 3weeks pp and feeling closer to normal now but it does take time. Just keep an eye on it (took me a long time to build up courage to look 🫣) make sure it’s not weeping anything strange. It is part of the body which is meant to be fairly good at healing though x

I'm 11 days pp and I finally feel like it's starting to get better! Slowly but surely 😅

I had one last time and stitches for 2nd degree this time, do your pelvic floor exercises it helps with blood flow to heal.

I had one with my first birth. The spritz for bits was a life saver for me! I lived off it for weeks

i feel your pain, all my stitches came out and it’s only just stopped being agonising 9 days after having it done, a long road to recovery🙃

Also a week in and my biggest problem is the constant pad and pant wearing rubbing and feeling sore. taking breaks by napping in bed on a bath towel and nothing on bottom half has helped
