Post childbirth surgery (refashioning of the perineum)

[Convex]

Hi,

I'd be really interested to talk to someone who has had this done. Interested to know things like recovery times, when you can exercise, how much better/worse than the initial healing it was, what help did you need with baby, etc etc.

Missed my chance to ask the gynae doctor as was upset so couldnt think of any questions.

Understand it differs from person to person but anecdotes (by PM if you like) would be appreciated.

Thank you

Amy

Ps not sure it makes a difference but this is not a prolapse situation, more a redo of stitches / badly healed tear problem.

i had a third degree tear right through my muscel...dont know if this is the same thing? i just had my check up and everything has healed nicely but tbh i can sometimes feel it....:S did it not heal up quite as well as it should have?

Hi nabs, no it healed wrong unfortunately, was 2nd degree but apparently can happen even if you only get grazes (though is fairly uncommon for any pregnant ladies reading so please don't worry)

The nurse assured me it's a simple routine op but would like to talk to someone who has had it done.
