Delivered 10 days back and had stitches down there, the soreness is really getting to me especially when i sit. Im keeping it clean as told but healing feels so slow. Any tips from moms who went through this to make it more bearable?
I had stitches after normal delivery and the warm water sitz baths my doctor suggested really soothed it. Keeping it clean and not straining helped me heal in a couple weeks. It does get better, hang in there.
I will just share that I kept the area very clean and rested a lot, that is what worked for me. I wouldnt suggest any cream on my own though. Your doctor will tell you the right way to care for it.
After my c-section the stitches healed slowly with proper rest and keeping the area clean and dry. I avoided lifting anything heavy for weeks. Follow exactly what your doctor tells you about cleaning and dressing, that matters most.
Those first days were rough for me, every movement felt sore and I cried a bit. But it heals, slowly slowly. Rest as much as you can and ask for help, you deserve it right now.
