Hi all,
I know there have been loads of threads about healing after an episiotomy/forceps delivery, but if you had this, how long before you resumed your sex life?
I know all women are different, but would be interested to get a vague idea!
I had a forceps delivery 10 weeks ago and have been on three courses of antibiotics as the wound keeps getting infected despite me being meticulous about personal hygiene. It's still very sore, a kind of deep pressure ache inside me rather than the superficial stinging I had at first and when my stitches went.
It seems a LOT of people who've had an epi lose their stitches, you'd think the doctors would by now find some better way of doing this awful procedure. I would have totally preferred a C-section than this, I begged for one in the hospital and they told me no way as it's major surgery. But having my ladygarden relandscaped has been psychologically totally hideous!
Thanks for advice
