did anyone else still feel super swollen and sore down there one week postpartum? i feel fine…

@sawyersmomma, yep I hurt for a month and a half

also I'm still doing all the steps I should. squirt bottle, using the dermoplast, patting instead of wiping (I have stitches) and changing my pad frequently

@lena916, did you do anything to ease the pain

@sawyersmomma, yep I thought it was never gonna go back to normal lol. but it does it just feels like forever

@sawyersmomma, I had stitches too they just fall out

Yep. I couldn't sit down without wanting to cry for about 10 days. I didn't get any muscle tears, but a bit of skin tore and I had some stitches. It hurt really bad when it was healing. I sat on one of those travel neck pillows during that time. Since it's horseshoe shaped it took the pressure off my vagina when I was sitting. It helped a lot. You can also take ibuprofin/motrin/Advil for the pain
