Yes: 7 days after suturing is a normal time to start seeing some bits of dissolvable sutures falling out. Make sure you keep your follow-up appointments with your ob-gyn and that will assure you get a clinical exam with a visible inspection to confirm all is medically stable. Congratulations and best wishes.
