So my baby boy was born 8 days ago, after a really straight forward labour I ended up having to have a mediolateral episiotomy and a foreceps delivery as he had his head wedged on a funny angle. I had a midline episiotomy with my daughter and I'm sure that by this point I was almost pain free. This time I don't feel like I'm healing at all. It looks like where I was stitched has now come apart and there's an open section at the entrance to my vagina then a stitched and closed section and then a gaping section that was closed and is now open. I know that this is quite common and I am prepared to wait for it to heal but I really want to know how long it will hurt for as I'm getting really fed up now of not being able to do anything and being in pain.
Sorry to moan!
