    Swimming with a episiotomy
    My daughter was born 9 weeks ago and I had an episiotomy which still has not healed all the way. It's about a little over half way closed, my questions is can I go swimming in a pool with it still that open? If so would it sting really bad?

    It probably would not sting, but, you may be exposing it to infection due to bacteria in the water. I would not risk swimming just yet.
