3 weeks ago tomorrow I had my baby, failed forceps and vacuum and eventual c section. C section is feeling ok if a little tender and numb plus my insides feel a bit wonky still (disconcerting when you hear a surgeon say ‘just putting your bowel back in the right place’ 😂) - however the episiotomy is not. It’s my second episiotomy and I’m sure my first healed much quicker. A week ago it felt like I had a UTI and prolapse (Plus piles!) it was so sore - I was on antibiotics from the hospital anyway so the GP said if there was an infection it would clear up. I then had about 3 days of feeling completely 100% - but since yesterday the scar is extremely itchy and tender. I don’t think any stitches or anything have come loose but it’s hard for me to even sit down again which became much easier up to a few days ago.
How normal does this sound for anyone else who’s had an episiotomy? No one has even checked the stitches which I found odd as they did first time round.
