    stubborn stitches

    ahhh!! just found out that i still have my stitches in at 10 weeks post birth!! no wonder DTD hurt so much! they are supposed to dissolve and the GP says mine are just taking longer than usual. if they dont dissolve in the next two weeks i have to go back to the hospital. i thought stitches were supposed to dissolve in 6 weeks!

    Can I just say OUUUUUUUCH Kathryn LOL!

    I've heard of Dr's accidently using non dissolving stitches so be careful! Good thing you found them when you did though.. Hopefully it resolves itself soon! Goodluck.

    It was a bit ouchies with that first tug. I think the skin somehow had attached itself or something. Felt so much better once it was out LOL.

    Have you tried soaking them in the bathtub daily ??
