I had a 1st degree perineal tear 2 weeks ago with DC2 which was left unstitched.
I checked it last night with a mirror and my perineum looks non-existant, the tear has visibly not healed but when I pulled the skin together the perineum looked intact again so it looks like it might not knit together on its own and may need stitched after all?
A midwife is coming to check it tomorrow as I rang asking their advice today. Just wondering if anyone had similar?
