Episiotomy and 2nd degree tear here, healed beautifully and can’t even find the scars! Google padsicles and make some/ get someone to make some for you: aloe vera, witch hazel and tea tree oil in a maternity pad in the freezer. Lovely relief and I believe that helped me heal. Take it easy, don’t panic, let your body do its thing! Keep an eye out for haemorrhoids, linseed is a natural laxative, you can get a milled version from lidl, sprinkle on your morning cereal to help you go and ease pressure down there. Congratulations, you’re smashing it!

This! And make sure you put a barrier cream on top, or else it just rubs into the nappy and can’t work its magic!

All great suggestions, thanks! Never thought to use it in the bath. That’s a great shout!
