Hi I wanna know from you mommies how long it took for your stitches to heal down there? And if there's anything we can/cannot eat? Also will the stitches be dissolved or need to take out?

My stitches hurt the most during days 4-7 and it was during 1 week review that I learnt the wound was red and inflammed causing the pain. Gynae cut the stitches although it's supposed to be dissolvable to release the tension and it was an instant relief for me! Pain free ever since then so I recovered in a week. I think it was inflammed due to confinement I only bathed like few days once, important to keep wound clean clean clean! Do not eat any seafood other than fish. My confinement nanny will prepare a steaming hot salt bath in a potty placed in the toilet bowl which she advises me to sit on for few mins. And I find that it really helps for pain relief, calm the wound and sterilise it.
