Were you healed by your 6-week pp appointment?

Your tears or episiotomies, I mean. I was healed by then after my first baby (and I'd had a lot of trauma to the area). This time the delivery went much better but I still tore (second degree) and had stitches. Not much pain or discomfort though, so I was surprised when my OB said I wasn't yet healed at my appointment last week. I've had a tough time since my baby's birth--a lot of stress and anxiety and pp depression. I'm not sleeping enough (are any of us? lol) or eating well. I assume these things might be contributing factors? Should have asked my dr. but I'm also really mentally foggy and can't remember anything.

I know everyone's different, but I'm curious to know about your experiences with pp healing.

I had a third degree tear and episiotomy and I wasn't healed at my 6 week appointment. It took about 2 more weeks, and I also had to go on estrogen cream afterwards because I kept having pain.
