TMI
Hi ladies,
I apologise for the grossness of this thread now but I'm not sure who else to ask :roll:
DS is nearly 3 weeks old (where has the time gone?!) and my blood loss seems to slow down one minute then starts up again. That I can cope with, but the smell I can not and it's really getting me down I was told not to use any soap etc because of my stitches but I'm not sure how long this has got to go on for. I pour a jug on me as I use the toilet to soothe and rinse, then use moist toilet tissues afterwards to try and help clean as well as sit in a bath of water every morning but I can still smell it and last night in bed hubby did too which really upset me. Does anyone have any tips to stop this? Or know when I can use soap again? I usually use a soothing femine wash anyway so thought this might be OK?
Again, my apologies for the gross post but it's driving me mad!

My mw had a look last Tuesday and said that there were still some stitches and it looked fine :roll:

My HV came this morning and I spoke to her about it. She said that the smell is normal unfortunetly and that I could try using my soap but only a little bit and see how I go.
Oh the joys!
