It hurted at first . Maybe like the first few seconds . It wasn't unbearable . Afterwords the pain went away

@sarahdrew, @teja I didn't need stitches..does it hurt?

I didn't have any stitches or tears , & I only bled for 2 wks. So we did it at 4 wks & I was perfectly fine 💁🏽

depends on your stitches, if they aren't completely healed then you could get an infection, not to mention you are super fertile after giving birth
