Episiotomy stitches

I had an episiotomy and stitches after. The stitches have come apart leaving the skin separated. I've been to Mac today who aren't stitching back up but have put me on precautionary antibiotics... Has anyone else had this. Did it come back together and heal? If so how long did it take?

I had this with my first. Healed fine, can't remember how long it took, but it happened gradually over a few months I'd say.

Hi, 3.5 weeks PP here, and would like to know the same! Not an episiotomy but I tore and the stitches came apart, was also on precautionary antibiotics but still got an infection after 2 weeks so changed antibiotics and seems to have cleared now - I’m still sore and taking paracetamol every 4 hours on the dot, but finally ventured out the house the last couple of days so have some hope it is healing slowly and we will get there eventually! It’s been really hard and frustrating though to have such a long recovery x

@Charlotte I found an episiotomy recovery much harder than my recent c section. It's so tough, I hope you feel better soon

I had the exact same thing I’m currently on week 6 and have had 4 lots of antibiotics 😩 it’s a bit better now less painful but being treated for over granulation
