At what point after giving birth would you say it tightened up down there?
When I went to my 6 week appointment I was so scared it would hurt since I also had second degree tear but it was loose and didn’t hurt when I was checked. I don’t have a partner so haven’t done anything and I also haven’t checked to see if it’s tightened. I’m still so traumatized from when I was pushing my baby’s head out 😅

Let me rephrase, do you mean going back to the way it was BEFORE having a baby or do you mean you your sutures?
@Chey just for it to feel tighter after giving birth im not sure if it ever goes back to how it was before giving birth
It does go back
The canal goes back to what it was before, maybe even a little tighter. Your sutures will take a while to heel to feel normal again.
