A week ago today I have birth and due to having a forceps delivery I needed an episiotomy.
Noticed throughout the last 24 hours or so that I was really stinging so have just had a look and all the stitches have gone - surely they dont dissolve this quickly?
Midwife looked at them on Wednesday and said they looked ok then.
The wound isn't bleeding but is open slightly, ive rang the 24 hour advice line and they've said they cant really do anything.
Does anyone have any hints or tips on how to get it to close up or heal a bit quicker? I'd at least like it to seal itself together soonish!
