Had DS3 9 days ago, not feeling well, texted mw but any advice in meantime? (Slight TMI alert)

[BoffinMum]

I had DS3 last Monday in a pool at home, and it was a pretty quick and easy birth, although the mw said I had a few grazes down below. I didn't need any stitches apparently.

The ladygarden area felt reasonably OK until about two days ago, when it started to become really quite sore, especially the wee hole bit. It really hurts if I spray it with the shower and it hurts to walk.

Also I feel a bit crap tbh, have got a temp of 99 degrees, and some intermittent pain around the bladder and groin area. I wondered if it was a UTI yesterday, but the mw tested me for that and said everything was fine on that front.

I am wondering what it might be and what to watch out for, while I wait for the mw (who hasn't rung back yet).

Update ... I think the antibiotics may just be starting to work, thank goodness. It's stinging a bit less now.

Thanks for congrats, Gemzooks. Apart from all this, it has all been really good.
