Oh ok because its so uncomfortable I'm scared 2 sit the wrong way and it messes them up...they also told me to just wash up with water...do I have to wait till they dissolve to use soap again? Or just wait till I'm pain free?
I used oil of okay bar of soap right after I had my baby and I blot cleaned it. I tore under my Hood to my taint. With my first child my stitches were gone in a week
i had minimal stitches, i was sore for about a week and when i finally had the guts to really have a good look and see what was going on down there at 2 weeks they were all gone. you cant really mess them up as long as your gentle and keep everything clean. i wouldnt go putting anything but water on the area though, never know what such sensitive torn skin could react to.
They didn't give you that antibacterial foam thing? I forgot what it was called. I also put tuck's pads on my pad. It's mediated and it kept it moist so my stitches dissolve faster.
@Kat I has stitches with my son and within a week, a few had dissolved, but a piece was sticking out and stabbing me. They also recommended Tucks which have witch hazel in them, so I also bought some witch hazel in a bottle and put that in my peri bottle to rinse the area. It felt so much better.
This is a good question I had my baby on the 16th and have a stitch and I noticed today it's still there lol I guess it does take a while for them to dissolve
Someone on Pregly suggested an antibacterial pain releiving spray called Dermaplast to help with the pain down there... I bought some for my hospital bag, but I'm only almost 32wks, so no idea if & how well it works. Just passing it along!...
