Has anyone ever had this?
Following a forceps delivery, the day after the scar was a lovely neat line onto my leg and looked great. A day or two later it became really sore so I braved a look and there was a huge gaping hole which was seeping yellow/green stuff. GP has prescribed antibiotics which haven't cleared it up yet, and midwife checked it over and basically said that the underneath stitches are still held together, it's only effectively my skin which has come apart, keep it clean and dry and it will heal itself.
However, it's extremely painful. I'm struggling to get off the couch, codeine doesn't touch the sides with it, it's constantly leaking gunky stuff, I have to pee standing up to make sure none accidentally gets in it, and it stings constantly.
Anyone had this, how long did it take for yours to heal over? I'm a week post birth now and feeling really sore and upset that I can't do much still!
