I wasn't sure where to post this, but here goes.
Poppy will be 3 months old on saturday, I had a third degree tear when having her and I am STILL sore. I'm nowhere near being able to have sex yet, and it's especially sore if I've been walking a lot. I spent the first month after she was born in agony, and the first two weeks unable to physically go for a wee without first running myself a bath (Yes, I had to go in the water) and even then it was still extremely painful. I had to sit on a rubber ring for weeks, and even walking to the kitchen to make a cuppa was painful. I felt unable to look after my newborn properly, which seriously upset me. Thank god Luke had two weeks off work.
All of this has made me so fearful of recovery when I have another baby. So, do you think I can have an elective c-section next time? I know it is ideal to have a natural birth, that a c-section is major surgery with a long healing process, but i seriously don't think I'll be able to go through all this again, it's horrendous.
