stitches

Well, I'm only 6 days PP, and had a few stitches. I really didnt tear badly at all and I barely hurt, it's just a little sore. However, I was just wondering how long it will take to heal up. I had my son June 8th, and I would really like to not worry about the stitches like June 30th. My husband leaves for a few months, I think 6, for basic and AIT on the first..... Think there's a good chance???

No way!! I had my son on the 10th...   Mine was 4 1/2 weeks early though.

I have no idea about how long...I've got some stitches too. What do you mean by not worrying about them by June 30th?

Mine are just starting to dissolve and I'm almost 6 weeks PP.

Awesome, well, I meant my husband leaves on the 1st of July for 6 months or more, so the night of the 30th, I would LIKE tohave a gooodddddd night with my husband haha. But I dont' want to have to worry about the stitches hurting or breaking....

Oh that sucks! 6 weeks? Ugh it seems like there's no hope for anything lol.

Even if they are healed it will still probably hurt. You won't even be a month PP.

I don't think you're supposed to have sex until at least 6 weeks pp anyway...at least that's what I've read and my doctor has said.

Ya it is 6 weeks, but a lot of people don't follow that rule.

They say not to, but I'm very "in tune" with my body. & Most of the girls on here didn't wait but like a week is what I've seen average. A friend of mine waited two days lol.

I would say most people on here wait 4 weeks to 6 weeks, not a week. You're still bleeding at a week and from what I felt still really sore. The doctors tell you to wait because of risk of infection and getting pregnant again. Your body may feel healed, but the inside might not be. I think that if you're done bleeding and everything feels alright at 4 weeks it's your own risk.

stitches are a bitch!       i had minor tearing too and my 'disolvable' stitches would NOT disolve. they were so tight and sore and poked me all the time. i called in and demanded they get removed at 4 weeks pp. they didn't want to because they told me it can take up to 6 weeks to heal, but i refused to leave with them in. since then i've been so much more comfortable (now 5 weeks pp) and i think i'm actually healing quicker. it hurt so bad to get them out though.........

mine were fine by 5 weeks.. thats actually when i resumed having sex. for a couple months after the area was a little tender at times.. but now im 4.5months pp and its like there was never anything there.

Well that'sgood. Yeah I'd only be three weeks PP by that point. But I don't even feel the stitches. It's not really sore anymore, just itches a little lol. I think I'm healing really well. I dont even need the loritabs or motrin anymore, yay!

Now if only I could get rid of the bleeding lol. I forgot how annoying periods were!

Two days?! I was bleeding all of the place, had leaking boobs, and felt like I had been kicked in the crotch so many times that I couldn't sit comfortably at two days. Sex was the absolute last thing on my mind! The new baby in my house was all I could think about...that, and my hurting body  .
