I became really swollen after my first. Ice, ice and more ice. Salt baths are great too.

Good episiotomy care tips from the mums. Soft and padded underwear is also most helpful.

I had one and those wet flushable wipes were a God send. Provided cooling sensation and also not harsh like toilet paper. Also I found sitting in the bath for 10 mins with salt helps too.

Warm water and salt does help and a warm rubber inflatable ring to sit on for support and relief. Any other ideas for when out and about.

Can’t really advice you on that as I didn’t have any episiotomy’s.

I had an episiotomy with my first bub. Can’t say I experienced any pain tho. Regular pain relief meds would help. I remember I was told to mix up a solution of warm water and salt and sit in that for 10 mins daily.
