Hi mums,
Baby boy is one week old.... on a normal birth he tore me 3 times and Iv had 3 sets of stitches all 2nd degree.
I know it's only been a week but I'm SO sore that even getting off the sofa and walking to the toilet is horrendous.
Iv been using warm flannels, and washing myself every time I go to the toilet. I know it's not infected but the pain is just getting to me. Took painkillers but the midwife said to be careful, as if It doesn't hurt I might forget that it's there and cause more tears!
Also I had issues with my hips and groin when pregnant... and since giving birth the pain is worse than ever. Back and hips feel like they've been shifted out of place.
(I have physio booked)
Has anyone got ideas how to help the soreness down there and if a sports massage would help? Isit safe to have a massage?!
