Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl - she is gorgeous.
Dont worry about your stiches its amazing how quickly the body heals. Drying the area with my hairdryer after showers (not too close though
) seemed to help (this was recommended to me by a midwife). Rest, relax and enjoy your wonderful daughter.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Congratulations Xeney and Penelope!
I used witch hazel pads, patted on my episo. They helped a lot. Turns out the major source of my episo "pain" was some stray hairs that got caught up and tangled into a mini-dreadlock in the excitement. Didn't find 'em until after the stitches had healed and I knew it wasn't a stitch issue. <embarrassed>
A hand mirror after a week or two can be a very good thing!

Congratulations Xeney!
Your situation is virtually identical to the reason I started this thread (except I count myself lucky not to have had the back labor - ouch). I can tell you that the pain you are in now will subside. I remember at the time thinking it would never get better but it did. Keep up the sitz baths and I strongly recommend Tucks pads.
