how long does it take for stitches to heal?

[Sel1229]

I gave birth a week ago today and I had to get stitches since I tore. Im starting to feel better but im dying for a nice hot bath but I cant stayed submerged in water. How long does it usually take to heal? Most of them are inside, i did have a few outside. As for how many stitches, i don't know.

I had my baby almost a month ago and my stitches (which I got on the inside) took two weeks to go away and feel fine. My doctor also said that's warm bath was fine but you can't add anything to the water

It's 6-8 weeks. Good luck

I had my baby a week ago today and I also had stitches. Mine killed me up until today. Don't get me wrong they are still sore though. The nurse advised me to not take a bath for 6 weeks though.

I believe taking a warm bath is perfectly fine
I know I took a bath right when I got out of the hospital to ease the pain
They advised me to do so
I think they are more worried about intercourse and the stitches tearing
Hope you heal soon! :)
