When do my stitches heal?!
Question: I had a baby on Jan. 22 08.. So, its been 4 weeks today.. I got stitches and I was wondering when do the stitches dissolve? Also, I am still bleeding (very little). When will i get my normal period?.. Is it still ok to go to my 6 week checkup if I am bleeding slightly?

I believe stitches begin to dissolve around 10-14 days, and should be gone by 4 weeks...and YES go to your 6 week checkup even if your still bleeding. Normal periods depend upon a few different things like if your breastfeeding and how well your doing with that and so on...etc. Ask your doc when you see him/her.
