My DD is nearly 6 weeks old, she is my first and i was wondering what the average number of stitches people got post labour as when i told a couple of ladies i know that i had had around 30 (25 internal and 5 external) they looked horrified and one assumed i had had a stage 4 tear. It was only a two but quite deep apparently and i was also wondering how long after birth did most people have sex for the first time, i'm not quite ready yet though DH is ready to go.
