Does anyone know how long we have to wait to workout with 2nd degree tear?

Question

My stitches have not fallen out yet so I’m thinking probably after they fall out? I’m not talking a hard workout, just a couple mile walk with the baby and stroller.

Answer

I think they just dissolve, not fall out. I started walking a a mile or 2 at 5 days pp and I had 2 2nd degree tears. As long as you're comfortable while doing it I think walking is allowed right away

Answer

I couldn’t do anything for a solid month after my first and the 2nd degree tear he gave me. Then I was able to walk around the block. I started walking with him before my stitches dissolved, they didn’t go away until 8 weeks PP. Also had a 2nd degree tear with my second and I was walking around the block before he was a week old.

Answer

I just did what felt comfortable. At first I had to do tiny walks and it would make me bleed and I would hurt pretty quick. But I slowly added more distance.
If it's only walking I would start slow and listen to the cues from your body 😊

Answer

A couple weeks we were walking, and I honestly had no idea if the stitches had dissolved or not🤔

Answer

I couldn’t walk or sit comfortably with my second degree tear for almost a month. But I figure whenever you can do so without waddling or being in pain you’re probably fine. Just work up to it gradually, rather than immediately walking a couple miles.

Answer

I would say like 3 to 4 weeks. My stitches dissolved at 3 weeks! It's better to wait it out than break a stitch
