It's been almost 5 months since I had DD and sustained only 2nd degree tears, but in 3 directions, back, up and splits in too. Absolutely agonizing being pulled apart for 40 min while OB manouvered me into where she needed to stitch, had a catheter in for 2 days as bladder sealed shut was traumatized so much.

I thought once my stitches were healed (which they were ages ago) it would be fine But it still really hurts, and I know the OB did a good job stitching me up because the midwife was admiring her work. I am terrified this is going to last forever now! My mum had a fourth degree episiotomy and she didn't have this problem, I am so depressed about wondering if it will ever end.

Did anyone else have this problem, or am I a freak of nature because I can't fine ANY material on it anywhere?? Should I see a gyno?? Should I have an episiotomy next time, (am actually jealous of CS people) I am so afraid of this all happenning again if it ever even fixes itself.

I really need some reassurance this isn't going to last forever so if anyone can help I really need to hear from you.
