those who had second degree tears....

[Indi84]

For a few weeks I felt a bit, Ooo sitting down on the floor, but not on a couch. Bit sore walking for a few days. Felt ready for (and did have) sex by 6 weeks pp. Been absolutely fine.
I took baths with tea tree oil in, and put witch hazel on my maternity pads. Also put my pads in the fridge!!
I just had a bog standard second degree tear and stitches. I never looked I still haven't my DH said it's all fine. He's the kind of guy to say that anyway though

Thanks for all the replies. I'm 12 days now and suddenly feeling better and can love about more normally. Still being careful and I can feel it if I've over done it but such an improvement. Nice to read everyones experiences and know it should all go back to normal.

2 months on and all is well. So to anyone reading this thread who is feeling like I did it does get better.
