I had to be cut while I was pushing

Absolutely!😂

I don't miss it at all I mean the birth and carrying my daughter I miss but nothing else lol

@junesmommy_15, @valerie_jean @alainalovesmommy thanks ladies! Makes me feel much better. I'll take this itching over the burning when you pee thing any day! Don't you just love all the things they don't warn you about postpartum??

usually its just healing so it will be itchy for awhile at least for me I'm pretty sure it stopped itching around 6 weeks for me or so it felt like forever . there was this spray they gave me to stop the pain and itch omgod it was a life saver

Not if you didn't want to! It was mainly for the burning when you pee. I kept using it just because it made them feel better lol.

No it doesn't. I've had a baby girl! I know that's not the case lol. They are just healing. It's best to let them stay dry. They heal faster. Mine took forever to heal because I was always moist. I started doing sitz baths and using a hair dryer and the healing process was faster.

@valerie_jean, I know I know, I just had to make sure it wasn't something else like a yeast infection! (Never had one so I thought looking would help lol). I stopped bleeding about 2 weeks ago so I don't use the pads anymore, just liners. When it stopped hurting to pee I stopped using the peri bottle. Was I supposed to keep using it?

@junesmommy_15, see I thought that's what they would look like too. I don't actually see stitches I just see little white things. Only a couple. Then in other places I see little bumps. No head on the bumps. But both the white and the other bumps itch like crazy so I'm not sure which are the stitches. I know it sounds gross or like I have some kind of STD but I swear I don't lol

Rule #1: NEVER USE A MIRROR😂 lol! It will freak you out and make you worry more than you have to.😂 Yes girl mine were super itchy but I just tried to keep it moist like using the hydrocortisone cream and the witchhazel pads they gave me, and using the water bottle spray thing when I peed and the other spray can stuff lol. And my stitches dissolved around 2-3 weeks, but others it takes longer for them to dissolve. Sounds like yours are almost gone since there are only a couple. ☺️

They itch when they heal. I'm not sure about them being white. Mine were black.

I did. I had so many stitches.

@valerie_jean, me too! I'm 5 weeks pp and I've been SUPER itchy, I'm assuming it's from my stitches healing. Did you experience this and when did it stop?? I got curious and wanted to make sure everything was as it should be and grabbed a mirror. I can see a couple things I'm assuming are stitches/where the stitches were? They are white.

I had second degree tears. What's your question mama?
