mm omma_lazarus, I didn't get any stitches or tears either but I did get grazed, so I had felt some discomfort! And I still feel it a little a week after but mainly when I pee! Dang unfortunately my epidural didn't work, I inly felt it on my right thigh 😁
I was back to the normal the same day. just a little painful every now and again. with my first I got stitches and within a day in a half I felt like myself again but again just painful every now and again.
I didn't get stitches and I didn't tear. Honestly I was back to normal after my epidural wore off. I walked out of the delivery room and everything lol
