I know it's early days but I gave birth to gorgeous DS2 a week ago today.
I had a straight forward, if fairly fast delivery, and tore in a strange way. I don't know why it was strange exactly but I had lots of different people all come in for a good gawp!
Anyway, they stitched me up and it didn't feel too bad for the first few days.
Since about day 4 though, I've got a tear in my labia (sorry if TMI) that is really sore. It stings like hell when I wee, and it's pretty uncomfortable to sit down or walk any distance.
Has anyone else had this? How long till you felt ok again? DH is on paternity leave atm, so he's looking after 23 mth old DS1 a lot, but I'm dreading the thought of trying to keep him entertained ion my own, feeling sore like this.
