I had my little boy!
by lrf0622, Mar 20, 2005 12:00AM
hey everyone,
just wanted to let you guys know i had my little guy 4 weeks ago.
this is the first chance i've had to get online i've been really busy. Labor lasted 14 hours anf 5 minutes. it was a lot harder and more painful than i ever imagined it would be but it was so worth it when they handed me my little man.
having said that,,,can anyone give me a rough estimate of how long it takes the stitches to disslove? it's really uncomfortable.

Are you sure these are dissolvable stitches?? Usually dissolvable stitches are 7-10 days. You said you are post partum 4 weeks. I had dissolvable stitches for my c-sections and some dissolved too soon!!!
Do you have a 6 week post partum check up for yourself??
Or maybe ask the doctor, maybe they are dissolved already and its just a little sore and not quite healed.
My stictches were out in a few weeks, However, I tore with an epsiotomy. It was horrible! It is amazing how well it heals.

Your stitches shouldn't be terribly uncomfortable by now--mention it to your doc if you are truly in a lot of discomfort.
