question
I had a normal delivery 6 days back and got some stitches. the stitches caused only slight discomfort the first 3 days but after that they are hurting tremendously. my gynaec said they are healing well. but the pain is unbearable. I am on pain killer 3 times a day but the effect wear off in few hours.. is it for them to not hurt first few days and start hurtin later? what can I do to relieve the pain as it's causing alot of difficulty in feeding.

Yes it hurts a lot.That too feeding baby is one big task as wel.&nbsp; just think had it been c section, the pain and healing would have been much more worse and longer. You can use cold water to wash there and pat it dry. It takes a little more than a month to heal. Once the wound started healing.&nbsp; it will <u>start</u> to itch as wel. So don't itch. Don't widen your legs much as wel. Ask someone to assist you when feeding&nbsp; and all.

If the pain is so uncomfortable you must have them checked again as it could be a sign of infection. Please read my article on post natal recovery and stitch care on Babychakra
