Hi Ladies,
I gave birth to my LO 5 days ago and have a rather large tear on the inside right of my labia, from clitoris almost all the way down to the vagina. Midwife stitched me up but since being home i noticed that the pain from it was getting worse not better, walking around, weeing and sitting is painful rather than just uncomfortable.
Have had this checked by another midwife since and been told that my tear has split right open again and that there is the chance of a developing infection so have been given antibiotics but told they wont re-stitch me . Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and has any ideas for making me more comfortable?
Also, it just doesnt look the same as before...theres a bit 'hanging' from just below my clitoris that definitely used to be attached, i'm dreading becoming intimate again as i'm so paranoid of how it looks.
