Gave labor 9 days ago today i noticed the string from stitching hanging out. i'm able to pull & push it. very painful meds not helping is it normal?

Maybe not normal: The tails on these stitches are usually cut about 1-2cm long. If the tail is longer than this, it can mean that some of the incision came open. If you are having a lot of pain as well, you need an exam just to make sure everything is healing the way it should. Best wishes!
