Lol I think you can do it after the stitches like your hubby said but you should ask your doc
It depends on if you have desolving stitches etc, but you can get down there now, making sure that you stay clear of where your stitches are, and just give it a general tidy up (if needed :) ), but def leave the stiched area until it has well and truely healed :)
My are supposed to go away them self. I'm just nervous too lol.
