Hi all,

With the birth of my daughter I endured a 2nd degree tear around the perinium area. I've noticed for the past few days that something felt like it was 'hanging' in the area so I had a lil looksey this morning with a mirror (gross! ) and I noticed that my stitches were starting to come away and that some bits of my perinium were joined together but others werent. I think the parts that werent joined together is where the stitches has come away from..

Is this the normal way for it to heal? I got no idea! How long did it take for your stitches to come away? I was under the impression it would take up to 6wks! Its only been 2 weeks for me.

Also, for those that had stitches, when did you start DTD again? Once the stitches were totally gone or before?
