I gave birth to a baby boy 18 days ago and required stitches (grade 2). The midwife at has checked on my stitches on all visits however yesterday she said that it appears that I have a hole still left where the doctor did not stitch the skin correctly. Apparently instead of doing a continuous stitch he done several stitches and left pieces of skin open hoping it would all heal
I'm booked into my doctors today because the midwife said I need to get checked out by a gp to see how big the cavity is underneath. She's worried me but said that the doctor wouldn't restitch anyway.
Wanted to know if anyone else had experienced anything similar
