for the moms who had stitches, how long did it take for them to dissolve and how did you know? i had 2nd degree tearing and had to get stitches. it doesn't burn anymore but feels a bit sore. just wondering when will I know I'm healed. its been a week.
mine was gone by my 6 week. Some people are able to have sex but I didn't do it until the doctors said it was
@mazeyy09, i don't go back for my check up until August 13th. So hopeful they're gone by then. i am going to be checking now that you mentioned it
they told me the same thing and when I got checked again at 2 weeks they were still there. Its really just an estimate. I never really thought about checking earlier because I was in so much pain
@a.claypool13, @mazeyy09 I didn't even think of checking with a mirror, lol I still have baby brain. The doctor told me 7-10 days. so when you ladies say weeks, I start to think they didn't tell me right.
by 4 weeks mine was gone. I didn't have that many but I just checked myself with a mirror.
They're usually gone within 2 weeks, I got cut to prevent tearing... (I had stitches with my first 2 kids).... I also had stitches from an injury, and 2 different surgeries... Same amount of healing time.
