When did your stitches heal?

Question

I’m 4 days PP and I feel like my stitches hurt worse than they did at the hospital. It still really hurts to sit and sneezing....ouch. I’ve been cleaning it with a peri bottle and changing my pad frequently. I don’t notice a foul smell or signs of infection. I looked down there with a mirror and I can’t even find where the stitches are. 
Is it normal for them to hurt this bad? I’m tired of waddling and wincing every time I sit 😭

Answer

I felt better by 2 weeks! I’m 3 weeks pp and I don’t feel anything anymore.

Answer

Normal 😢 they will probably start feeling better by week 2!

Answer

I felt great for the first few days and then for about a week it was super painful. I cried all the time and stuck to the full schedule for pain meds. I would say give it 2 weeks and if it’s still bad, call your ob. I was still uncomfortable at 6 weeks pp and it turned out I had granulated tissue that caused the pain to stick around.

Answer

I had a really rough time with my stitches too. It took me about 2 weeks. I caved at a little over a week and messaged my ob because I was in so much pain. She did an exam and found that my stitches pulled which delayed the healing. She gave me a cream to use that did wonders!  I'd reach out to your physician.
