Ice packs in the underwear/diaper. Trustttttt me. The itching is from the stitches.
You can also freeze the pads w/ witch hazel to make them cool.
Yes! Ice packs on the regular and, Frida mom has these cooling pad liners that really helped me the most. I also used dermaplast. I was switching out the liners and ice packs veryyy frequently throughout the day to keep it cool down there it was brutal. This too shall pass I promise!!
I'm not sure where you are located but go to the chemist and ask the pharmacist for xylocaine gel, I had an episiotomy and a tear on the side and it was excruciating to sit down and then the itch too when it started healing but it was a lifesaver especially when trying to sleep!
@Felicity I’m right there with you episiotomy and tear and I’m in pain because of the itchiness but I’ll ask my Ob about the gel because I definitely need it
@Nora I’m on all of that thank you! I noticed the dermalplast made me itch more but everything else has somewhat helped (:
@Elyssa that’s a good one I’ll freeze it and see if that helps more! Thank you!
@Anasztazia thank you! 🩷
Numbing spray!
The itching is normal, it means you are healing. It will get better soon.
