Episiotomy.. how long did it take you to fully recover?

[ShootingStar]

Thanks so much for your replies girls. Its nice to know im some what normal. I will definately see what my GP says next week.
Do you know if my GP would apply the silver nitrate if need be or would i have to see an OB?

I had a few salt baths after the birth and they did wonders so im gonna start up again. Had one last night and it was great.

Im the same as you blackjellybean.. im really considering a C/S next time round. Atm im too scared to have a vaginal birth again after the pain and recovery ive gone through during and after the labour.. and especially when Jesse was a 8lb 9oz first baby and theyre suppose to get bigger each time?! I just hope eventually DH and i are able to DTD again without contributing to the already existing pain.

I wish i was still breastfeeding, id definately give the breast milk a try..

Best of luck with you birth Blackbird! With a bit of luck you wont even need the salt baths
