Even though many people warned me of some of the down side to having new babies, no one told me how ITCHY the stitches healing "down there" would be!!!
Now, I had heard everything from "its better to tear than get an episiotomy" to "you'll be so sleep deprived"...no one ever told me about how terribly itchy I would be if I needed stitches!
Boo was Edward Scissor Head and tore me four terrible directions. Recovering was itchy hell until all four 2 inches stitches fell out...about six weeks after he was born. Thank god I didn't need any stitches with Bubbi! Healing was a breeze.
So mommies to be....plan on being VERY F-ING ITCHY if you need a butt load of stitches like I did. Just a friendly heads up! Supposedly hemorrhoid pads (yes, on your bruised and beaten vag) can help, but no one told me so I just suffered.
Good luck with that one ladies!

Mine was an emergency C-sect. Itchy versus pain...i think itchy is better. Now my son is 3 yrs old and the "wound"would still feel itchy or occassionally pain. The Doctor said coz the muscle did not join back properly
Did u do anything to flattern ur tummy after pregnancy ? Coz some women look 5/6 months pregnant even a year after their pregnancy .
Small Kucing - My MIL says hers still feels odd even 30 years later. Sorry :(
Palak - No I didn't do anything in particular. Just regular cardio, yoga etc once I was given the ok by my doctor
