I've just had my baby boy, if he didn't have his arms up when he came out I wouldn't have teared. But, his arms were up and I got 2nd degree tears, very close to my butt hole. The midwives didn't want to stitch me so I had to wait 3 hours for a doctor to do it. I haven't actually tried pooping yet (it's been 4 days since giving birth). Has anyone else had this, if so how long did it take to poop and how painful was it to woke near your stitches?
