@mamatobe203, not to be graphic or anything but they told me I almost teared to my ass so it took me quite a few stitches idk the exact number but I took at least 4 weeks to start noticing a good amount of healing but by the 6 week check up I was all good and even Able to have sex again lol I had the stitches that go away on there own I think called the disalvable ones I can't Remember what there called but they come out on the own.
I tore really really bad but it depends on the person I didn't even know I tore till they told me I did n how bad it was in didn't feel it happen tho I had a natural birth but the main thing for me bout tearing is after i got stitches the after care was just annoying to me lol
