You gotta understand I had a third degree tear. Most episiotomies ate second degree unless you tear as well. Like I said I think an episiotomy might have been easier!

Well 6 weeks is better than a year.  Hopefully I'm in the same recovery time as you were

Didn't have one but I tore bad enough that am episiotomy might have been better! My recovery took quite a while. Took four weeks for my sex drive to return and even then it hurt far too bad to try for a few more weeks. It took close to a year to feel completely normal again.
