2nd degree tear

Dear mummies, few days ago I gave birth and had a second degree tear. Please share your recovery period and what to look out for. I would like to know if there’s things I should take note about and how to do things better.

Gave birth in Feb 2024. I did sitz bath to soothe my area, it sped up my healing process as well. I sat on donut ring, eased a lot of uncomfort. I used peri bottle as well, fill it with warm water and spray my area while peeing, it helps with diluting my pee. After pee/poo, cleaned myself, I used Earth Mama’s perineal spray. I felt constant soothing in my area after using it, I went through 2 bottles. Haha. Take stool softener, helps a lot! My gynae prescribed me with vitamin C, to help with my healing as well. Good luck!
