I was wondering who had stitches put in after they gave birth. I tore in two different place and therefore had to have two sets of stitches in two different places and it took a whole month to heal. I also had to have a urinary catheter inserted because of the position of the stitches. How long did your stitches take to heal?

Nah, i wouldn't say he was very heavy at all. He was 3040grams. He was two weeks early though. He was pretty small, but he had a big head lol.

I had to get a few stitches with my first child. I did not tear the doctor cut me to prevent me from tearing. With my second they thought they might have to cut me but they didn't. I don't really remember how long my stitches were in. They came out early though. They did not dissolve like they were supposed to.
