What do you mean by the post birth peri check? My midwife looks at my bits but doesn't touch. But I haven't had a tear (yet!). I would think attending to open wounds would be paramount to maternal health, you don't want a nasty infection to rock your babymoon.
Yeah my MW only has a quick look and does touch a little but usually just to check spots that are suspicious of a tear. The sooner the better and I'd imagine it would hurt more the longer that was waited. With DD I had her at 3.30ish am and the midwife came back to check later that day as I had a lot of swelling. Maybe mention you find it hard so could they take more care?
