It wasnt so bad pain wise for me with my first mainly burned for few min and some times it difficult wanna even get up and go where had stitches i was so sore when walked that id almost wanna give up on going to bathroom
My Dr had to cut me pretty good and I got a ton of stitches. It was easy for me to go (had a bowel movement the morning after I had my daughter) I didn't need stool softners but everyone handles pain differently.
Its super pain full
It hurt so much with my
1st son and only
Had 1stich it burns and stings
Worse feeling ever and I
Would ask for stole sofeiners
Because you'll need em
But its all worth it good luck ;)
