Anyone still sore nearly three months after a second degree tear?

[DoNotLoseHope]

Still feel sore after a second degree tear and stitches after birth. Nearly 3 months postpartum stitches have healed but still feel some sort of soreness or some sort of internal soreness anyone else experienced this to take longer healing time than usual?

No OP, mine healed well after a few weeks. I think you should see your GP or ring the midwife team.

i have told them so far they said it can take a longer time to fully heal so I’m waiting for a healing miracle

Yep, that was me! With my first, had a forcep delivery and second degree tears, lost lots of blood (damn epidural) and it took me the FULL three months to heal which is what they prepared me for. Even now two and a half years later I can get a bit of an achy feeling when I do a wee 🙈 mine just continued to fade over time and by the time my second was born 19 months later I’d long recovered. I hope you start to feel better soon, it’s horrible having that kind of recovery period

Yes, the scar healed very quickly (within a few weeks), but it was still sore and I could feel it for months. I remember that even after a year, if I sat in a certain position, I could still feel it: maybe it hit a nerve or something.

With my second, I had another second-degree tear, which also healed quickly, but I never felt it afterwards.

So I guess it was just bad luck and that the first tear may have affected a muscle or nerve.

I had a 2nd tear and it took me around a year to fully feel normal. I also had forceps tho.
Sex was really uncomfortable for a long time. I was beginning to think it would feel uncomfortable forever
