Postpartum
Hi mummies, those with stitches after birth how did you all sit down at home? Did you use anything to support while sitting down? Cos it's very painful to sit! And how to heal it fast? Thank you.
I took all my painkillers round the clock the first week 😅. My sofa which I used for breastfeeding is very soft, which helped. But actually for healing, you should keep the wound clean and dry, and try not to split the wound apart or cause any trauma to it.. so try not to sit on it for too long.. either lie down or stand up, or sit to the side. Be gentle when going to the toilet too. Try not to strain or wipe too hard, and don’t sit on the toilet bowl for too long.. that causes strain on the wound. The pain gets much better after the first 10-14 days if the wound’s healing well. Take your painkillers and hang in there!
