If your stiches start falling out postpartum, does that mean the tears are healed?

My baby is 1 week old today and Ive been finding pieces of my stitches in the tissue paper when i pat. The stinging pain is decreasing every day. Im wondering if my wounds are healing since the stitches are starting to fall out 😅
