When will I feel better? I can’t sit and it hurts to walk. I can’t even get up while holding my baby. I’m completely dependent on my husband.

I gave birth to a 8 lb 6 oz baby 2 weeks ago. I had second degree tears and three separate tears that had to be stitched up. It felt like my doctor was stitching me up longer than I was pushing! He said that he had to do some cosmetic surgery and my labia had to be reattached. He said it was likely to retear based on how thin the skin was and the strange way I tore. It was starting to feel a bit better but now hurts worse everyday.

How long until the pain goes away? Should I call the doctor or wait longer?
