Taking a while to heal from vaginal birth

Just wondering if anyone else took a while to heal after a vaginal birth?  It's been about 2 1/2 months since I gave birth and I had an episiotomy.  The cut is still healing.  I'm having to go see my OB every 2 weeks and she's been putting nitrogen oxide or something like down there to help the cut heal and stay together.  She said the worse case scenario would be to have to get stitches again.  Eek.  Anyone else still healing down there or experience this?  Thanks!

Mine does not seem as bad as yours - I'm almost 8 weeks PP - but it certainly does not feel normal down there and sex still hurts like a b*tch!

I'm about 10 weeks out, and the Dr. delivering didn't do an episiotomy, he just let me tear (which was fine I guess). I had an almost 4th degree tear, and while it is completely healed, I still have some throbbing in my crotch area, which I was told is normal. I have only had sex once since having my baby, and it hurt pretty badly, so I think I might be healing still.
