stitches

Mums who've had stitches after birth what have you done to relieve pain? Panadol just isn't working tonight.

If the pain has been going on for a long time get checked for infection.  It's also possible you have nerve pain.  Try sitting on a harder surface too--like hard back kitchen chair.  Seems contradictory but the softer the chair--the worse my pain was for a couple of weeks.  I took the max ibuprofen dosage for a while!

Rest, tucks hazel wipes and pain relivers. About all I can suggest. It will get better

soak pads in witch hazel and stick them in the freezer. whenever the pain gets bad, use one of those. it's not a good idea right away as you're still bleeding a lot, though

Warm baths help but all you really can do is wait it out till it stops nothing worked for me I could barely move

After my first my mum made me get salt baths getting in at first wasn't very nice but once you get use to it really really helped ease the pain and before i knew it they was gone (: if i get stitches this time I'm totally gonna do it again

They also told me taking a warm bath helps dissolve your stitches faster.

I've been doing all that but it's not making a difference right now. :(

Ibprofen, pain medication they gave me. I took them both every time i had a chance. Cold packs, numbing spray and squirt warm water with the bottle they gave me when I went pee. Stitches were horrible for me for two weeks. They also say go pee as frequently as u can. Idk if that's add more pressure down there or what lol
