Hi, looking for your experiences if you would be so kind
I had a medio lateral episiotomy 2 weeks ago. 3rd degree iirc from a long sunny side up forcep delivery. Some minor tearing alongside.
A few days later the stiches burst at the outside of the line ( towards my leg/ buttock with it being medio lateral) and a gaping hole was left. Advised won't be re stitched, just has to heal from the inside out.
Today I made a huge leap forward and was able to sit down have spent 2 weeks lying or standing. Went to see the pony, and was staring longingly at him wondering when I will be able to ride again.
Obviously it will all depend on how fast I heal, however could you let me know your experiences? How did you know you were ready? How long did it take? Did you take extra precautions? Did you ride too soon and cause issues ie ripping the wound?
Thanks for your advice
