Aqua- Actually, sometimes you can be sewn up incorrectly. If they don't match up the sides of the cut or tear precisely, they have to do a minor operation where they cut you and sew you up again. It sounds like you healed, albeit very slowly, but if you have problems after you stop breastfeeding and intercourse is painful, you might want to see another doctor.

You cannot exercise and you cannot lift your toddler. In India you get stitches that don't dissolve so you can't take a shower for 8 days. I am sure there are plenty more that other mothers can come up with!!!

If you’re a new mother who happens to be sitting down while she reads this, chances are that you are at least ten days post partum. If you’re less than that, I hope you’ve got a donut ring or at least a very soft pillow on your chair because I promise to be as thorough, as accurate and as entertaining as I can while you go through all the typical (and less typical) postpartum stuff.
