TMI WARNING

Gave birth last sunday, had a ton of internal stitches. Last couple days I have been so uncomfortable. Itchy and irritated. Is this part of the healing process or do i need to go to the Drs? I have been bathing with lavender oil as recommended by the midwife and when I go to the toilet I have been patting dry. My blood loss is very minimal, just bleeds a bit more when I pump (due to breastfeeding/pumping making your uterus contract)

Please help. It is driving me insane

I found that I was itchy and irritated by my stitches because everything was swollen and stretching. are you taking paracetamol and ibrufopen? I was told by midwife to take alternatively every 2 hours and it would go. also bit weird but put a pad in the freezer and then wear it. it acts like an ice pack. get them to check them as well, that way you know and you've got peace of mind as well :-) x

I take it you are still wearing pads? Dot them with pure tea tree oil, took so much itchiness away for me xxx

Yes I was a bit itchy :) but if there's an odd smell or really uncomfortable..get it checked as there could be an infection :) I just bathed in plain hot water xxx

It's totally normal to feel that way, I had internal and external stitches and I felt itchy and uncomfortable! If your worried get your doc to check. It it's part of the healing ☺️ x
