DTD w/ stitches.. how long?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I had a vaginal birth with no perineum tearing about a week ago... however I do have a small tear inside my labia (I believe the midwife called it a lesion). If I feel it I can feel the 3 stitches but they are not sore or tender. I have been cleaning them daily since birth so they do not get infected.

I am wonder how long people have waiting in similar situations to DTD if they are feeling up for it PP?

I had similar stitching after my 2nd. I think we waited about 2 weeks IIRC. I poked around down there beforehand to make sure I didn't have any tender spots. They only thing I would be mindful of is if there are any stitches sticking up in a way that might be uncomfortable for him.

I still had stitches at my 6 week check-up and mw said we could dtd anyway. It was sore though.
