So sore 😩
Hello everyone,
I'm currently 4 days postpartum. I came away with a first degree tear so needed stitches. I don't know if I'm expecting too much too soon but they're so unbearably uncomfortable and sting almost 24/7. Sitting, standing, having a wee just hurts so basically, all of the time. They've been checked and everything looks fine apparently but I'm struggling to manage the pain.
Guess I just wanted to know if this is normal and I just need to ride it out until they heal a bit more?

I tore and had an episiotomy. I also had a large bleed out. Stitches were tight to start with. Drink plenty helps with the stinging. Mine only lasted a week and I took paracetamol every 4 hrs.
I’m the same 4 days pp and my stitches stingggg and don’t get me started about the postpartum poo 😭 I keep forgetting it’s only been 4 days and I need to remember my body has gone through so much. We have got this girl! Xx

Spritz for bits and a peri bottle every time you go to the toilet will help loads! It will get better but you're very early days yet, get as much rest as you can and give your body time to heal 😊 x
