One & a half weeks pp and still in a tremendous amount of pain

Jill
So I had a 9 lb 3 oz baby and everyone I've told has reacted like I'm this miracle woman who pushed out such a large baby and I mean I know I don't know anything different, but I didn't think it was that bad afterwards. Now a week and a half later, I'm still bleeding pretty bad and am in such a great deal of pain. I had to get stitched, obviously, and I'm not sure if that's what's causing the pain or what, but I'm not sure if I should try and see the doc before my 6 week check up or just tough it out. I can barely sit down sometimes and have to take it really really slow. I'm on pain meds and they help a bit but not really enough like I need :/ I just don't know if this is normal and I'm just being a baby or if I shouldn't be in this amount of pain and should call the doctor. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
