I feel your pain and I bet your dreading the fissure more than the child birth right!?
Hmm yes I would have thought after 7 years, there is something stopping it from healing. Having children is also just so tough on the body, the birthing, lack of sleep and having to pick them up all the time doesnt help. I had decided that I was unlikely to have any more children so was the right time for me to get it done.
I would seriously consider getting it done. The surgery is absolutely fine and I completely understand the thought of it is terrifying (trust me I was there) but now I'm on the other side, I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. You need time to rest for sure though so maybe once the baby is a bit older and not so full on?
Just to update on my recovery:
11 days in now but all my swelling and bruising seems to have gone. I have a little tiny 'feeling' (not pain) when I need to go to the toilet but now no after pain. I've been pretty active the last 2 days (we had snow in the UK so we went for walks and helped kids build a snowman). It ached a little last night but settled down after a bath. Still bathing twice a day and trying to keep it super clean. Its been a little itcy at night but I think this is because of skin healing over but generally i am feeling good and I'm hoping im over the worst of it now.
