Based on your description, I'd guess 2ish weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-stitches-bother-you-postpartum#post-1831729 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 18:19:44 +0000 Lindsay05 1831729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was definitely a couple weeks :( I remember I was so happy once they got itch because that means they were healing! Congrats on the new baby :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-stitches-bother-you-postpartum#post-1828535 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:26:10 +0000 travellingbee 1828535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man I can't remember about the actual stitches... A couple weeks? A week? The tear hurt for what seemed like forever though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-stitches-bother-you-postpartum#post-1828328 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 11:41:45 +0000 mrskc 1828328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't tear my perineum, just some outer tears. I have a few stitches. I'm 4 days pp and the stitches are starting to bother me. I've been doing a sitz bath every night and using the pain relieving spray. It's really not so bad... i remember it being a lot worse with DS since I had a second degree tear. </p> <p>Just wondering how long it took others to heal? How long were you uncomfortable? </p>
