Ladies who have had an episiotomy, how long afterwards did we shave/trim?
TMI feel like I have a jungle going off down there and my stitches are starting to hurt a bit and I can’t exactly see the stitches/scar it’s self.
I’m only 2 weeks pp so appreciate it will still be a little uncomfortable.

I waited ages. Maybe 6 weeks? I was too scared haha

I also let it 6 weeks to let it fully heal but it then came open again to leave it plenty of time xx

I didn't have one, but I dont shave, I use hair removal cream, so that might be easier for you as you don't need to worry about a razor, just an idea

6 weeks probably...I was terrified. Mine started to hurt after a few weeks too but I think that was when they started to heal up properly. Check at your appointment when you go that you're ok to start taking salt baths, they really help!
