Stiching up after birth
Hi, Is it painful when gynae stitches up your below after natural birth?
If you’re under epidural, there’s no pain. Otherwise, they’ll usually inject local anaesthesia before stitching. Might be a little uncomfortable, but to me, it’s nothing compared to the delivery itself. Haha. In fact, I was quite relaxed even though I could feel everything.
You wont feel too much even when gynae is stitching u up. Post-delivery - yes. But u are prescribed painkillers. It's tolerable and way more than contractions. :)
Because you would have just gone through more intense pain (during delivery) with or without pain relief (effect also varies for individuals). Therefore, after your successful vaginal delivery, you wont feel much.
I was on epidural so i didnt feel the pain. Which i am so thankful for as my treshold for pain is zero. I resisted at first but i just can't.
A question i always wanted to know. Many have advised is really nothing compared to the pain of childbirth.
It is not painful during the stitching if you are on epidural. It is the post recovery :(
Yes even with epidural I could feel discomfort. Non total painless but not crazy painful
Yes for me. It’s also very uncomfortable. Maybe cos I don’t have epidural
Yes still bearable. I feel the after effect is more painful as compared to the time when doc is doing the stitches. The pain will last for few weeks. Remember to wash your wound with warm water and pat it dry after every toilet visit.
The pain is bearable. Tbh, you’ll be distracted by baby by then.
My wife felt bearable even she was not on epidural.
was on epidual, so didnt feel anything
