It is really difficult to deal with pain, sleep deprivation and a newborn. These first few weeks are really hard but it sounds like you are in more pain than is normal. I'm not sure a c-section is the solution though.

I have had 2 natural births and a c-section. I had a second degree tear with my first birth. I have found the recovery from a c-section really frustrating and extremely painful. There is so much stuff I couldn't do for so long including sitting up and holding my baby for the first day. I was very dependent on busy midwives to pick her up and pass her to me ... sometimes I waited a very long time. Recovery from my second degree tear took about 6 weeks to be healed and to be able to sit properly. Having said that, mine was pretty straight forward, but it sounds like yours is more complicated.

Every labour and birth can be completely different and you may find this isn't an issue next time and you will recover okay. No-one can tell until it happens.

It is not a nice time to be in so much pain. I hope that the doctor can help you out tomorrow.
