how long

After birth did it take for your stitches to fall out? I'm going on 4 weeks post pregnancy, and my stitches are still there. The doctor who delivered the baby said the tiers weren't at all bad, and the stitches should fall out in two weeks time but they are still there. Also has anybody had sex before the six weeks were up? I'm dying to make love to my husband. He was gone for 7 months, and not even two days after he came home I went into preterm labor. Now it's both killing us not to be able to make love.. we have tried other things but we both want to do more... I still have another two weeks before my 6 week appointment, and I'm already going crazy :/ I don't know how much longer I can go without being that close to my husband again.. btw I'm one of those that believe making love makes me feel closer to the one I'm with so don't judge.. thank you to anyone who answers.. I posted this last night and only got one response.. seeing if I get more..
