TMI WARNING Gave birth last sunday, had a ton of internal stitches. Last couple days I have been so uncomfortable. Itchy…

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

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

@lynette26, @winterbaby95 how grim is it?! Ahhhhh. Thanks ladies

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

I found when it was itching I was heeling so it's a good thing I'd say

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

@charlotteandharry, yes pads that can only be described as a memory foam mattress haha bloody huge they are but good for padding!!

@lukesmummy2016, today I resorted to ice cubes in my knickers 🙈. I will get some pads in the freezer!!

Haha I literally sprinkled every single pad with tea tree oil and it helped soooo much x

@charlotteandharry, I will get some!
