Really hope someone can give me some advice/experience.
dc3 was induced and took 2 days but was only in active labor for an hour apparently, so all happened very quickly. Don't know if that is relevant to the question or not.

Anyway, I had a 1st and 2nd degree tear, aswell as a labia tear (
) which required stitches.
I was told to take baths and the stitches would just dissolve.
I noticed when I was in the bath, I could feel something by my bum.
I got the mirror and had a look (


) there is a little lump sticking out my bum
. Does anyone know what it is? And should I be worried? Have just moved house so need to register at the Drs to book my 6 week appointment.
Also, the stitches look like there's no sign of them going anywhere soon. Dc is 9 days old tomorrow, I had stitches with dc2 but can't remember how long it took for them for to dissolve. Infact I don't think I ever looked!
