3 weeks after manganak

Ay alam ko yan, ang perineal tear talaga ang nakakasakit lalo na kapag umupo at tumayo! Three weeks in, normal pa yan, some mums I know said it took them almost a month bago completely mawala ang discomfort, kaya don't worry. What really helped a few of us was doing frequent sitz baths (mainit-mainit, hindi kailangan ng special bath salts, kahit plain warm water) multiple times a day, lalo na after you go to the bathroom, sobrang ginhawa. Sitting with a donut pillow or even just soft cushions underneath helps din, at take your time getting up and down, walang mabilis na movements. Of course, if it's still super painful or may unusual signs like swelling or signs of infection, best talaga i-check with your OB para peace of mind lang, pero sa general healing, ikaw ay nasa normal path pa rin! Kaya mo yan!
