Episiotomy

Hi everyone, Sorry if this is TMI, I gave birth vaginally 3 weeks ago, I ended up having to have an episiotomy, which seems to have healed well from what I can see and feel. However I sometimes feel I smell down below, idk if this is normal following birth or an episiotomy, I am still bleeding slightly so don’t know whether it could be related to that? 🫣 I am very hygienic and shower daily sometimes twice a day 🙈 how has everyone else’s recovery’s been?

Perhaps it is the bleeding! I also had my baby 3 weeks ago and have a 3rd degree tear, recovery is hard :-( hope you are ok xx

I had the same.. and i was 100% fine and healing and no issues but i kept saying to drs and midwives ‘i feel like i smell like a dead sheep’ (im a farmer so thats my humour) but i was completely fine!

Lochia is more intense than a normal period. Post partum is a whole new smell as it is
