Hi ladies i had my naby boy on tuesday and it was a bit of a traumatic birth. Ended up with forceps, episiotomy and post partum haemorrhage. The pain from the episiotomy isnt getting better and its literally taking away the enjoyment of motherhood for me. Im constantly crying because i feel like im gonna be left disfugured, incontinent with no sex life.
The mw has been checking my stitches and one of them is gaping. She said they dont restitch for months tho until everything has healed. The thought of having a gaping open wound down there is distressing. My bum is constantly aching and ive got a bleeding pile. I also cant feel my pelvic floor at all, is this normal? Trying to do kegels but i cant feel a thing but feel a dragging sennsation when i walk.
I cant see any light at the end of the tunnel and just feel depressed
i knew this would happen and begged for a section but they went with forceps onstead. Im having lavender baths, using lavender and tea tree compresses and have ordered arnica tablets.
Anyone else been in this situation before? Is it possible for gaping stitches to heal themselves? Cant imagine feeling like this for months on end ill end up with PND or something i cant leave the house because i cant walk due to pain and dragging sensation i feel like a prisoner
