sore a week later?

in October 2014 Moms
I had my first baby 9 days ago, and at first I had limited pain in the perineum (I have a 2nd degree tear with stitches)... but now a little over a week later and it hurts alot? When I stand or walk around I feel pressure as if I have a weight down there.. is this just from healing? have any moms experienced this and how long does it normally take for it to go away?

thanks so much for any input :)

    It's normal to be sore. Also, I tend to be more sore after I've been more active- walking around more and not relaxing

    Yes. I had a second degree as well and lots of stitches from smaller lacerations. I was feeling not so bad afterward but then had an increase in pain around week two, probably related to activity. Now on week three and feeling much better .

    One thing that helped was continuing to use the peri bottle, even now I still use it. Also I used dermoplast at first and yes it helped temporarily but I felt the numbing sensation was a bit detrimental in that I wouldn't know how to sit in order to keep myself off the more painful areas, because I was numb... If that makes sense... So I stopped using the dermoplast and I think that helped. Still used Motrin though for sure.

    You're probably trying to be too active. ;) It takes 2-3 weeks at least of resting and taking it easy in order for you not to make yourself sore by doing too much. Rest and snuggle your baby and enjoy your time together.

    Oh, also I had a fast, unmedicated birth with no tearing, and it took me 2.5 weeks to be pain-free.

    I feel your pain OP, the pressure when standing up is awful.
    I thought I was the only one who was taking a while to heal!
    Hopefully this passes soon.

    Soreness and swelling didn't show up for me until about a week PP. I think the pads I was using were irritating my undercarriage and I was more active. I switched to a more cotton-like pad and it helped a lot. Also, Motrin.
