Still hurting!

Courtney • Life is so much better with our perfect baby girl! 💕

Had my sweet little nugget on the 14th so not quite two weeks just yet. I am still hurting. This is my first baby and I had 3rd degree tearing, stitches, got a hemorrhoid and bruising all over my bottom. Granted, I do feel better with each day but still hurting. My bottom hurts the worst and still walking a little funny. Every time I talk to someone they find it very odd that I’m still in pain and they say I should be fine by now.. like 100%. Took baby to the doctor three times since she was born.. two check ups and one for just labs. And every nurse was just baffled that I was still hurting. They would say. Oh you had a section? And I say no.. and they look at me funny and say that’s weird? This happened even after 4 days of having her. Is this strange that I’m still hurting? Should I be magically 100% better by now? I know everyone heals differently but everyone is making it seem as tho maybe I’m exaggerating? Any tips or advice? Or anyone else had this experience?
