I had a 2nd degree cut too. It took about 3 days before I went, and it didn't hurt. Did they give you a suppository painkiller - if so the first poo might be a bit weird so don't worry!

My MW gave me a top tip for when the time came, because there are often wiping issues with stitches. After you've been, wash yourself with the shower and dry with the hairdryer. Keeping it clean and dry helps it to heal faster.

I had an episiotomy when I had my Daughter and it was a whole week until my bowels opened! I thought it was going to be really painful but it barely hurt at all. If you have stitches and you're worried about it hurting/pulling try holding a wad of toilet paper against them; it helps
