Pain After Natural Delivery

Hi mommies! I had natural delivery last Friday. Today is my 6th day. I also had stitching at my vagina area near my anus. I had difficulties walking, my joints are so painful. Every step I took makes me want to cry. Anyone with similiar experiences? How to overcome and how long do you recover?

Yes, I had similar pains as well. Going to the loo was a nightmare. It took me almost 6 weeks to recover / feel no pain while sitting. I felt cheated by my gynae as she told me I would recover in a week or 2. She refused to tell me the number of stitches I had too as she kept averting the question. I also couldn’t walk up and down the stairs as my pelvic and other joints would ache too. I had to sit on a swimming float at home. You must keep the wound clean and not get it infected. I used a perineal bottle for washing and Curacao topical spray. Try to lie down more. You can also ask your gynae to see if there is any infection and take the prescribed painkillers to manage the pain.
