Sorry if TMI, but i had stitches 8days ago, been keeping them really clean etc, but they bleed whenever i need the toilet!! It seems to come out pritty fast, but always stops within 10minutes of it starting. They dont bleed continusly, and i questioned my midwife who didnt seem concerned, but she never checked them either! Can they tear? Or is it normal? I had stitches with my DS 19months ago, and cant remember any sort of bleeding with them!!!
Thanks

when you have a hv/midwife visit get her to check your stitches, mine werent stitched properly and the dr said if i had had them checked they would have re-done them, which sounds horrible but it would have made life a hell of a lot easier at the time!
