- In this video, I share exactly how I managed to successfully & beautifully heal from a 3rd-degree tear.
I forgot to mention two sources that I found extremely helpful when I had questions about my recovery:
1. Tinto App: tinto.app.link/mmah.
They have a range of experts from midwives to pelvic floor specialists. You can also ask other mums questions who have gone through the same thing or view similar past questions.
2. 4th Degree Tear Support Group on Facebook. I couldn't find a 3rd-degree group however, this group was also very useful.

Thank you for this video. I’m 3 weeks pp, I had a 3rd degree tear too and your words reminded me to not to be frustrated, to be patient and gentle with myself. I’ve been feeling so “unproductive” but now I realize that my body has been trying to heal at its own time. I want to be there for my baby, and in order to get better I need to rest 🥺
You got this lovely ♥️
Thank you so much, I just got back from hospital, I have a 3rd degree tare and dealing with so much pain, I felt so hopeless about incompetence until watching this video, I feel there is hope for recovery
9 days post partum and 3b tear plus episiotomy! This advice is so valuable!
I was told not to use donut pillow as you could burst stitches! Also to anyone reading this, don’t be suprised if it takes a while for your milk supply to come in/ and do use formula if it does as you don’t want a starving baby. I was feeding from 12 midday until 1am wondering what was wrong with my baby- turns out he wasn’t getting anything. This is because you need food, water (lots) and plenty of sleep to heal. Your body won’t produce anything extra initially as it’s trying to fix itself and focusing it’s energy on this. I am only just getting milk in!
Sending love to any mummas going through this too. It’s a long road to recovery but this video goes to show that you can recover well if you look after yourself and this makes me feel so much more positive xxx
i wish i had read this (formula) 5 days earlier it would have been much different. My baby was so unsettled and had to be up all night and day because she was hungry. Plus having a third degree tear.
Omgosh thank you for this. I hand a 2nd degree tear and my experience was almost the same as yours. When you talked about incontinence I related so much!
Thank you so much for the video and reaffirming moms who experienced something similar. I'm a first time mom and I'm 4 weeks postpartum, also had a third degree tear. I feel pain in my pubic bone every other day, I need to roll on my side to get out of bed or get up from the couch. I get so frustrated with myself some days coz I wish the healing could speed up a bit. Your video helped remind me to be patient with myself. Thank you momma! ❤
The recovery process is quite something 😩 Congratulations on giving birth by the way but yeah hang in there beautiful. Wishing you a smooth recovery ♥️
Hi. Hope you’re okay now. Im also a first time mom with a 3rd degree tear and i have the same problems you do. Have to roll on my side whenever I have to get up. I wanted to ask if you have healed now and how much time did it take to heal completely? I’m going through all kinds of emotions and just feel like I wont ever be my old self.
@@olivessite Aww reading your message took me back to the exact same emotions. I’m 8.5 pp and honestly, I’m doing great. I have noticed that I still need to keep on top of my pelvic floor muscles otherwise they do weaken but it’s an easy task so I don’t mind.
I would say it took a good 4/5 months to fully heal. It took a while because of a number of obstacles. Not resting for long enough, not exercising my pelvic floor muscles from day 1 & other things. I remember I caught covid and the constant coughing strained my pelvic floor muscles but I did get there in the end & you will too! This will pass and you will feel like yourself again. Try to lay down as much as you can. I would say 4 weeks of laying down through most of the day is what my body needed and if I did that, I would have healed a lot faster.
It’s not a nice thing to go through but the tissues in that region are amazing at healing so trust your body. You will get phone calls from a physiotherapist and you’ll also have check ups from the gynaecologist if you’re based in the UK so you’ll be able to ask questions about your recovery. Every time you visit the midwife, let them check because it gave me the peace of mind that I hadn’t developed an infection. I would convince myself that I had but I never did. You got this and so has your body. Remember rest, good hygiene, fibre & pelvic floor exercises xxx
Omg thank you for this video! I’m 1 week PP and I also began doing chores and other things right away with no pain and today I’m in paaaain I had to start the pain killers again! I’m going to rest now! Thank you :)
Aww congratulations on giving birth mama! Chores are the worst. I lived on paracetamol for the longest time so try to stay topped up when you can lovely ❤️
Thanks for this video! So informative and reassuring. So relatable ❤️
Thank you queen ♥️
Thank you so much. This video helped me tremendously. I'm in so much pain, but these tips will help me. Thank you ❤
Im in so much pain 5 days post with 3rd degree tear. Im encouraged by your video. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Hang in there and stay topped up on your painkillers. My Dr. that they are more effective if I take them consistently. All the best with your recovery x
@@Madalene thank you so much! I feel so much better 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Squirt bottles were my friend.
Thank you so much for the videos... can I know when did you feel completely pain free?
I too had a third degree tear when I vaginally delivered my twins. When I finally went to my postpartum visit my doc said he couldn't believe how well I healed.
Thank you!
Thank you very encouraging I feel so much better I was worried because I had my first pregnancy and I tore 3 rd degree. Ty God bless you
Oh my I know what you mean, I'm just healing thank God I'm healing well.
PS may I ask a question.. intimacy after a 3rd degree.. When to try again..does it hurt etc?
Thank you for sharing, this was very very helpful.
It is very helpful. i am in 4th week of postpartum with 3rd degree tier.
I’m 3 weeks pp and 2nd degree year 🥲 just here for some support , don’t wanna feel alone
Thank you.
My 3rd degree tear, I had horrible constipation issues, but also a decent recovery. I got better at just 6 weeks. But for some reason.. the thing that was consistently making me afraid was just thinking of the tear. I always thought I'd get a first or second degree tear maximum. 3rd and 4th was never in my mind and just looking at Google animation images of how big the tear is, brings me a great deal of anxiety. For many months, it kept scaring me. I always think if I get pregnant again, give labour, I'd get another 3rd degree tear which I don't want. I also got an episootomty which is horrible when I think of. At the time, they didn't give me a choice they just informed me they were doing one. I'm annoyed to as I have no one to relate to and no one else has had thia big of tear I know my sister with five kids had absolutely no tearing.
People are amazed to hear that my baby girl was only 6 pounds! Goes to show, it can happen to anyone 😭
Thank you for the video. I got 3rd degree tear, and i am 3 weeks pp but it looks like my stitches are coming out yet the area is still open. I have terrible constipation. Have tried laxative for a week, drunk lots of water but nothing seems to be working. I am confused and stressed at the same time wondering if i will heal or if i need to go back to re do the stitches😢
Me I had 3rd degree tear was so freaking painful and the pelvic floor felt so bad , I will star fissioteraphy next week , but for now I am doing keggels exercise after my 6 weeks green light . Now I am week seven . What I did , I never sat I was always on one side or The other and I was eating on my knees. Now the stiches are gone but I still feel sensitive if I sit . So I prefer to avoid sitting if I can , and if I do it only
For few minutes . I also go to the bathroom stand.
Sitting was a no no for me too x
I’m 35 weeks pregnant and watching this is very helpful. Jasakalaahu Khayr sis
Congratulations on your pregnancy & lovely to hear it! Is this your first child? X
@@Madalene Thanks sis🙏🏾 😊 yes it is my first baby and watching few other videos of this topic today for the first time made me bit scared but watching your was Alhamdulillah the best one😁 Allahumabarik 👏🏾 ❤️
Pregnancy is a whole journey of emotions but just that know you got this and your body was created for it. All the best lovely xx
How long did it take for the pain and stitches to go away from the 3rd Degree Tear?
I’m 15 months PP and it all feels like a blur now but I wanna say the stitches dissolved between 3-4 weeks. I did experience finding loose threads but apparently that was normal. In terms of the pain, that went on for 3-4 months & I was consistently taking pain killers to manage it x
hi i had 3rd degree tear and my baby is 5 month old..my stitches broke and alowed to heal itself..i want to know what about sexual life after this tear?when can i start it again?can i folow all positions or just missionary pose only for my life time? is sex painful after this tear?when you started your sexual life again?kindly answer ..iam so much worried and frustrated all day by thinking about it..
Currently recovering from 2nd degree tear
I'm 3 days pp and I'm terrified of 1st pp Poop. Thanks for this video and tips. I feel not alone lol
You’re definitely not alone! You got this and you will get through it all. All the best with your recovery mama x
Thank you 😊 💓
I'm 7 days pp and honestly I tryin to manage with everything I can't breast feed well or even change her nappy as well and it's sending me mad
My heart & prayers go out to you sis. Take it day by day and before you know you’ll be feeling like yourself. Also, don't be afraid to use formula if the breastfeeding problem persists. Recovering from a traumatic birth while caring for a newborn is not easy x
This might be tmi. But was intercourse painful after you healed? I have a 4th degree tear and just wanted to know
I’m 3 weeks pp, I had 3rd degree tear and starts bleeding if I do some chores around the house. I’m afraid to sit on my bottom and it’s uncomfortable also. What did you do to heal faster? What did you do if you had any bleeding? Thank you in advance
Hey, sorry to hear about your third degree. All the things I did, I shared in the video.
I know it’s hard, but try not to do any chores especially when you’re just 3 weeks. It will take 3 months to heal and for 6 weeks you’re body will need you to take it as easy as possible so it can heal. All the best xx
Heyyy I wanted to ask when going to the washroom do you use plain water to clean or do you add any disinfectant???? And what do you use to dry the area ??? Tissue paper??? Or cloth??
Hey, I would use plain water & then I would gently tap dry and then I would get something flat like a pad (still in packaging) and fan the area to ensure it’s completely dry x
@@Madalene for tap drying what should I use tissue, bby wipes or cloth .. which is best???
@@simply_fatima_amiri I would just use tissue xx
Did you find it hard to walk
Initially no - just uncomfortable. I think that’s all thanks to the painkillers I was on. However, it did become painful when I started walking around the house and trying to complete light chores. This was in week 2. I would say rest as much as you can and keep topped up on painkillers to help manage any pain xx
Did you have constipation issues
I did 😭
I sure did I was scared to poop and still hated pooping 3 weeks pp. Stool softeners and as much fibre as possible!!
