Stitches question help needed!

Vic

So it’s been 18 days since I had my baby girl and I’ve just got the courage to look ‘down there’ at my stitches, or lack of because they should have dissolved by now, to be greeted with a hole? My episiotomy was slightly to the right of my vagina but about an inch to the right of my vagina is a small hole about the size of a 5p, has anyone else had anything similar because I’m freaking out that my stitches have gone and I’m left with a hole 😭😭😭
