Episiotomy

I had an episiotomy! Mine opened back up a week after giving birth so it took ages for mine to close and feel back to normal, I’m nearly 4 months PP now and it’s only really just feeling 100% healed! If you’re concerned lovely, please go and get it checked by your GP, I did because it didn’t feel right x

Unfortunately I had one and had a serious infection 1 week later with it resulting in a very slow recovery of around 5 months mainly because the midwives who were checking on it all missed that it was super infected. I couldn’t bring myself to look at it to check lol. Speak to your doctor about it and make a point that it’s still painful as 9 weeks is too long if it was just a normal recovery timeframe

Why are they not careful with these things? I feel th same that sth is not right.

I had one and it felt tender for a while but didn’t hurt

Go to your GP and check again, follow your instinct

I had an episiotomy! I’m 12 weeks and the pain lasted till about 10ish week. Take postpartum pelvic floor physio, it helps.

I had an episiotomy which healed very quickly and didn’t cause any issues. What you are describing is not the norm so I would speak to a doctor. x
