FOA anyone who was in stirrups during labour - advice pls
Hello
as you can probably guess from the subject head, I was in stirrups for the last 3 hours of labour and for an hour and a half after while they stitched me up.
since then i've had what i can only describe as 'groin-strain' whic comes and goes but is worse when i've been on my feet a lot. At our 6 week check the dr said it was normal having been in stirrups for so long and it would take around 6 months to go back to normal and put it down to stretched ligaments.
i just wondered if this is normal and if it really will take that long to stop hurting.
thanks
