Still feeling sore/bruised. In fairness nothing next to the pelvic girdle pain I experienced during the third trimester Episiotomy feels ok i think - not much stinging anymore. How long did it take you to recover?

I had forceps, I think to walk without any pain at all was about 6-8 weeks. What really helped was a few drops of lavender oil and a chamomile teabag in a bath, sit in it for 10 minutes then air dry. Hope you feel better soon! Remember pelvic floor exercises.
