    Feeling bit fed up today, where I had my stitches they are STILL sore and its nearly 9 weeks since I had Aimee! I told the doc on my 6 week check and he said they looked clean. I know they are not infected (paranoid about keeping it clean) but im beginning to wonder if it will ever feel the same again - surely it shouldnt feel like this forever...?
    Its basically tender & bit itchy & if I do try to itch it its really sore to touch. (sorry if too much info). :oops:
    Obiously its 100 time better than before but the past 5 weeks its felt the same...I dont know wether to go back to doc or not..
    When did everyone elses feel "normal" again ? ? Im terrified of doing the deed & think my husband thinks im making excuses & I dont blame him.

    I could have written that - I'm the same, I even went back to the hospital at 6 weeks and they said it's fine, but Rubie is now 10.5 weeks old and it's still not even knitted together, never mind healed :shock:

    I had stitches and I only stopped feeling sore when Phoebe was 10wks.

    Duds - I'm sure your stitches should have disolved by your 6 week check so when doc said they look fine are you sure he isn't loopy!!

    As for doing the deed. I was told I shouldn't have sex for 10weeks after my tear. Although mine was arse to elbow!! LOL :lol:

    Pop back to the doc if you are worried, even if it is just for reassurance.

    I had a section, and my scar is still achy and tender when I'm tired, and if I press on it..so I don't. It also itches like mad if I miss my daily shower, like leave it later in the afternoon? Weird.

    Well, Im glad im not the only one having this problem! Your right if I skip a shower in the morning & have to wait till afternoon that when its really itchy & sore.
    Think i'll give it another couple of weeks then go back to doc if still the same.
    If I dont do the deed soon then im going to end up having a phobia of it!
