Also it feels like my stitches area is stinging again today. Is this period related? Last time I went to docs and said my stitches are still aching, she didn't check me and fobbed me off with- it all hurts down there after birth. The time before I went to her she did check me and I had infection. It makes me feel like I shouldn't ask again as I'll be fobbed off. Maybe I'm worrying too much, but I'd like that area to be healed ASAP!
