When did your stitches fall out? I'm 3 weeks and 3 days PP and mine are still in and itchy!
Don't they dissolve? I'm 3 weeks 2 days and while I haven't checked I was only itchy for a day or 2 and haven't noticed any pain for almost a week. I would assume mine are gone. They were on an internal tear, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference
I ended up in hospital this week again, as almost 6 weeks pp I've got an infection in my episiotomy cut the stitches split 3 days pp, so the tear isn't healing as quickly as it should do. Serious nightmare, it is still hurting after 6 freaking weeks.
waaaaaaaaah.
I know I sound special snowflakey but fml- lovely unmedicated birth just for a highly medicated recovery

Yikes! That sounds horrible! How did you know they split and weren't healing?

I knew they split as the pain was ridiculous and I couldn't sit, stand or lay down without crying so I called the midwife out to come and look. Then they've been checking up on me since :-(

Mine are the dissolving kind, no but I still have a few. One stitch came out the week I came home, so it is healing as quickly as it should have.
@dramaphile At my 6wk PP exam the doctor found one of my 3 stitches that was "barely" hanging on, as she put it. I was surprised but she wasn't concerned and said it would fall out soon. No idea why it didn't dissolve!
