Postpartum

[ebony19]

Did anyone need an episiotomy and how long did it take to fully heal?

I had one. The first 5 days were really rough, especially the first 48 hours, I couldn’t walk properly as they had somehow cut sideways into the pelvic floor muscle. However, I stayed on top of paracetamol every 4 hours and I was pain free after two weeks and able to move normally, climb around soft play with my toddler etc. Idk when it was fully healed down there though as I never really tried to look. I’ve never had any phantom slicing pains down there or anything (I got these for 3 years after my previous CS though).

About 5ish weeks
