If you’re under epidural, there’s no pain. Otherwise, they’ll usually inject local anaesthesia before stitching. Might be a little uncomfortable, but to me, it’s nothing compared to the delivery itself. Haha. In fact, I was quite relaxed even though I could feel everything.

hi. why does everyone said with epi will not feel pain? I was on epi and experienced a very traumatizing pain, could feel every single thing :((((
