    With the girls around 1-2 weeks later

    I think mine were about 2-3weeks with DS2. I forget how long it took for them to dissolve with DS1.
    Congratulations for the arrival of your little man too.

    Not sure how to explain this properly

    The part of the stitch that's under the skin dissolved within 1-2 weeks which left the bits on the outside to fall off.

    my second degree internals took about 6 months to heal, my episiotomy took about 2 weeks.
