I'd definitely see your doctor. I had a whopping epi as well with vessels cut, but after about 6-7 weeks, it was OK. You may well be within the range of "normal" recovery time but it's better safe than sorry.]]> Fri, 28 Nov 2008 14:56:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22799&PID=554999&title=tmi-alert-stitches-lots-of-stitches#554999 <![CDATA[TMI alert!

Highly recommend zinc and vit C to help with healing. I hat a epi but no internal stiches and it took until about 5 weeks to feel ok down there.

I had an epi and internal stiches as well.

My epi stiches took about a week to heal and were all good(even the one I tore out getting out of the car on a slope - owww)

The internal ones took nearly 6 weeks, I could feel them rubbing and not in a nice rubbing kind of way! I got my MW to check them just about everytime she came as they didn't feel right, (has cs last time so didn't know what they were supposed to feel like!) I managed to pull one out which got rid of the worst of the rubbing, but I was still finding bits come out after I wiped at 6 weeks. Can be tender still now and its over 14 weeks!!

edited cos I can't spell!

Yeah maybe just get it checked out and get someone to check if it's all healed?? I had an episotomy too and mine took longer than the norm for me to get off pain meds.. my doctor thinks that I had a damaged nerve so that's why it hurt more than norm. But I was glad my MW had a look and told me it was all good down there lol.]]> Fri, 28 Nov 2008 12:27:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22799&PID=554834&title=tmi-alert-stitches-lots-of-stitches#554834 <![CDATA[TMI alert!

I would go to the doctor and just explain your concerns. I feel for you having had so much going on down there, but I really don't know if 2 months is a normal healing time for something like that. But yeah, better to err on the side of caution and get it checked out. While it probably would still be tender, I don't know if it should still hurt to sit and walk etc. Hope you get some answers soon. ]]> Fri, 28 Nov 2008 11:25:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22799&PID=554795&title=tmi-alert-stitches-lots-of-stitches#554795 <![CDATA[TMI alert!

First of all: Sorry for the TMI!

So a bit of background: I had an episiotomy but it wsnt big enough and I tore really badly internally. It went through two arteries (bad luck for me!) so i almost died from blood loss, needed a transfusion, yadayadayada...anyway everything was stitched up.

So of course it hurt like hell at first. Its improved a bit in that i dont need painkillers everyday, but tis still quite sore and Im wodnering if it sounds normal? So it hurts when i sit down and walking round for awhile after. It hurt like hell when I go to the toilet. Sex is quite clearly out of the question! Its been over 2 months...does this sound ok? Or should I be a bit worried? I dont want to leave it if something is *wrong* IYKWIM]]> Fri, 28 Nov 2008 11:23:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22799&PID=554789&title=tmi-alert-stitches-lots-of-stitches#554789
