Perineal tear

Aw mama, kinikilala ko yan, ang healing ng perineum is really painful talaga, lalo na during those first few weeks! Two weeks pa lang, so it's still very fresh; a few of us na nag-tear din nag-share na around week 3-4 pa lang sila nag-start makaramdam ng significant improvement, kaya don't worry, you're on track pa. That nighttime pain you're describing (parang muling tahi) is common kasi tumitigas pa ang area habang nagreheals, pero if it's getting worse, or if may signs ng infection (giddy-looking wound, unusual discharge, fever), please check with your OB agad para peace of mind. In the meantime, try warm sitz baths, paracetamol, and soft pillows, one of my mum friends swears ang sitz bath every after bathroom break talaga nag-speed up ng healing niya. Kaya mo yan, mama!
