did you use the ointment or suppositories (sp?)

I was cut and still ended up with a 2degree tear and im still healing fully not done the deed with DH yet

I had a 3rd degree tear with DD1 and tool lactulose to make it easier to go for a few weeks after the birth and healed and done the deed by 6 weeks & all was fine

This time with DD2 I had a 2nd degree tear, didn't need lactulose but after 2 weeks was having pain and passing blood which turned out to be piles, anusol soon sorted me out! Tear healed by 3 weeks and we had sex and all has been fine since

i had a 2nd degree tear, and i decided against the mw's advice that i didnt want stitches , and with out them i healed in just over 2weeks and me and dp done the deed at two weeks with alittle pain!.
but i decided to have a look and see if i looked 'big' 'down there' and ive noticed i have alittle bit of skin that hangs down :/

its horrible although dp says he doesnt mind in the slightest i'm thinking i might get my gp to arrage to get something done with it :/

p.s i too have trouble going to the loo no matter how brill my diet is and the tonnes of water i drink, i am sure that my muscle that pushes is so much weaker and i also feel like ive been cut when going, this is either the piles or a condition called fiches (sp) which ive suffered with before xx

hi hun i had a 2nd degree tear too but lots of stitches inside and suffered with piles when pushing!! they were uncomfy for quite a while and it turned out that it was the knot on one of the stitches so my mw removed it and it was heaven i opened back up slightly but it was so better, i  darent do the deed with dp yet it scared me too much lol. hope ur feeling better soon xx

Hi girls

Did anyone else tear during birth?  My son's head came out really smoothly but the force of his shoulders made me tear as whooshed out!  I just wondered how you were feeling?  Have any of you done the deed with your partners yet - have to say I haven't and am really nervous about doing it. 

Mine was a 3rd degree tear sadly  and I think I am healed but am now having trouble going to the loo and seem to be bleeding from behind.  It feels like I am being cut when I go.

Do any of you have that?

Thanks x
