Natural sea sat in the bath too, can get it from a health food shop x

A few drops of tea tree oil in the bath, when I had my stitches after birth that's what I did. It has natural anti-bacterial properties & should help with healing.

i agree with @winterbaby95 a nice soak in the bath is what helped me xx

Sit in the bath for an hour :) Everyday..few times aday if you can :) Take paracetamol :) You can also put your pads in the freezer to make them cool :) Get a childrens swimming ring to sit on :) that way you aren't sitting on the stitches :) xx

My stitches where awful for the first week and a few days! I also has lots of internal stitches, I ended up in hospital with the pain! Get your midwife to have a decent look as it could be a case of thrush as well which is very common after giving birth apparently! Also when drying and wiping after a wash or a wee try to pat dry rather than rub! @sheffield94446 hope you recover quickly! Xx
