Hi there, I was wondering if anybody who has had an episiotomy could offer me some advice. I gave birth a week ago and had a ventouse delivery which required episiotomy. It has been painful obviously since then but it wasn't stinging when I had a wee and the midwife said it seemed okay. But today we went for a walk with the baby for about half an hour (I'd just been resting really prior to this) and since then it has felt much worse and has started stinging when I go to the toilet. Do you think this was caused by going for a walk and have I done some damage to it? I tried looking in the mirror but couldn't see much. It's just so painful, it's so hard trying to look after a newborn feeling like this. Thanks for reading and any suggestions xx
