It's not so much pain anymore, but the scar has a totally different feel to it when I'm exercising, if I sit a certain way, etc. I'm just very aware of it.<br /> But it healed beautifully didn't even leave a mark on the outside. I think it's just the interal scar that I feel because it's a, um, sensitive area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-pain-postpartum#post-342394 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 09:40:58 +0000 sorrycharlie 342394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: thanks! I cannot wait for it to stop. It's not as bad as week 1, but you could say they sting. I'm afraid the nurse is going to say its my own fault - I didn't really do the sitz bath as often as I should've, but I need to just buck up and call, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-pain-postpartum#post-342342 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 09:13:39 +0000 autumnlove 342342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pain for a month after my C-section. Maybe you can call and ask a nurse for advice? I hope the pain goes away soon for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-pain-postpartum#post-342311 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 09:03:40 +0000 sorrycharlie 342311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I delivered 2.5 weeks ago &amp; I'm still sore (where my stitches were). I was told 1-2 weeks for pain from stitches, but I had a 2nd degree perineal tear. I wasn't told how many stitches or anything. I took a peek a day or 2 ago &amp; don't see anything resembling infection, &amp; bleeding stopped last week. I did have some pink this am after nursing but I think I took too long a walk yesterday (although not even a mile).</p> <p>Should I call the OB? Or is this relatively normal? </p>
