Tmi peeing question
Hey, I had my baby just over 2 weeks ago (also had stitches for 2nd degree tear) and the original stinging when peeing after birth went for a few days but now it seems to be back! I saw a midwife at the weekend and she checked stitches which looked fine and checked for UTI which was also negative. Has anyone else had this with stitches? Not really sure what else it could be :/

Yes I had a third degree tear and I have good days and bad days, feels almost normal for a few days and then starts to hurt again but MW has checked and says it’s healing well
I had this and heavy feeling. Midwife checked and all ok but said could just be the stitches dissolving and part of the heeling x
I really recommend MyExpertMidwife Spritz for Bitz.. put it on before and after weeing and every pad change 🙌🏼
Thank you so much for replying ladies, seems like it's not just me that has had this which makes me feel less worried 😊 hopefully we will all feel better very soon! X

I had my baby 3 weeks ago and I had an episiotomy and third degree tear and also a graze inside / outside 🤦♀️. I had stinging come back about 12 days after and it’s part of the healing process, so completely normal and subsided in a few days. I use a peri bottle every single time I pee (and I will do until my 6 week) just to be extra clean / cautious. There’s so many healing processes, the stinging comes back, it starts to throb and also be really itchy around some stitches - all completely normal and a sign of good healing :)! X
