STICHE OUCH !!!
Hey girlies,
I had my baby girl 11th april at 3.26pm had a bad labour and she was deliverd by ventouse as everytime i went to push her heart beat kept dropping so they wanted to get her out asap.
I had a small tear which i had one stich in but MY GOD does it sting when i have to go for a wee (TMI) sorry,im finding it sooo uncomfortable i have to actually get in the bath every time i need a wee because i find it stings less sounds weird i know but really does help,
Any one else with this problem? or have ever had stiches?
Is thier anything else i can do to help heal it quicker.

Also to heal the stitch I took 15 drops of each lavender & tea tree oil, mix it in with some milk & add it to a warm bath, really helped me heal quicker (the milk is so the oil doesn't sit on top of water).
Modified to say, drink lots of fluid too cause the more u drink the more diluted ur pee is so it doesn't sting.
Hope this helps, I can feel ur pain!!!

I thought that maybe keeping the area wet by doing this every time was a really bad idea as it may make healing time longer so decided to try and stop doing it.
I have found that sitting on the loo backwards really does help and only stings for a second. Since I have stopped using the bath all the time I seem to have healed and can now go to the loo pain free (most of the time)
Just to say that I was worried about my first poo but it arrived last night - hilarious TMI! Mine was a 2nd degree tear too this time - last dd I had a 3rd degree and that was horrendous but this really wasn't too bad. Hold a pad up to your pelvic floor so you feel a bit supported.
Also, pineapple or stewed apples are very good ways of getting your system moving and softening everything up.
As for the wee-ing, I have the same advice as everyone else really, mainly drink drink drink!! Water that is
