tear
i had my baby girl on the 7th so 9 days going on 10, i had a double labial tear and i got stitched up so both sides didnt heal together.
i am still in pain and not sure how to tell if it is right or not everything looks different down there. i was just wondering if anyone else had labial tears and had some advice? or a timeline of when the pain dies down?
everything i see is to do with perineal tears. i have used frozen pads i use a peri bottle every time i pee and wash with warm water each time after and have a bath every day to soak to try limit infection but i am so paranoid!! i want my sex life to go backcto normal after i have healed😩😩

Definitely ask your midwife to check you over, hopefully that will give you some peace of mind. X
i got checked today and the stitches are all healing perfectly she said it might just be the friction from the pads as its still so sensitive or from the walks and told me to make sure i do pelvic floor exercises as that can contribute too! pain killers and icing it will still be the way forward cant wait for it to die downn!!

Hey, I’m in a similar boat, gave birth on the 5th. Have you had anyone. Heck them for you at home visits? It’s worth an ask. By all means you can use a mirror to look but it’s probably still a bit swollen. I’m limited on advice tbh as just trying to get through it myself, keep yourself topped up on painkillers, small steps and be careful how you sit down is how I’ve been living 😂
