Mine were gone by then, but have heard of other people's still being there. Get you midwife to have a look next time u see her. If u have had lots of stitches, my advise would be dont look yourself. I did,...and I still wish I hadnt

Umm..can't remember how long I had my stitches in for, by I do remember that my Midwife checked on them during one of her visits. From memory I think I was still feeling tender after 4 weeks. Do you have an appointment at the hospital? I got booked in for an appointment for 6 weeks after I gave birth to double check everything was OK down there. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |
