I would say about 2months for me…. Everyones body heals differently, it could take less time or more….

My stitches came out after 2-3 weeks. and the pain disappeared as soon as they dissolved.

Mine wasn’t up to a week
Heals pretty fast

About 2 weeks I would say. Xx

5 weeks for me, but I did too much too soon and the outside ones split open after a couple of days so it probably would of been quicker if I rested x

About 7 weeks for me that I started to feel more normal and forgetting that they was there but I think they was healed by about 4/5 weeks xx

It was about 13/14weeks for the internal stitches to fully heal for me, but the external ones probably only about 3/4weeks

I think they were completely healed by four weeks postpartum. They stopped being uncomfortable within a few days, I barely noticed they were there.
