carla25`s poll Show results | Hide results


Pregnancy-poll poll For those who`ve had c-sections before: when you stitched up do they use absorbable stitches that dissolve on their own or do they use normal stitches that need to be removed by the doctor? My c-section is this week end & I`m a bit nervous about everything..thanks!

Thx ladies! I saw my doctor again yesterday & he said that here in Australia they mainly use absorbable stitches so they dissolve on their own. I leave for the hopsital to have my baby in about 7 hrs!!

My cousin just had a csection a couple weeks ago and they used absorbable stitches on the inside and then used a glue stuff on the outside. Then before she left, they put on terry strips to keep it together better. I don`t think they use staples any more...or maybe it just depends on where you go.

I have had 2 c-sections and never heard of absorbing stitches. anyways...I had staples both times and they had to be removed like a week later and everything was fine I was a bit nervous but no pain.

I had a c-section with my 1st child (pregnant with my 2nd now) I had staples on the outside after my c-section. Half was removed a week later, the other half at the two week mark. I guess it just depends on the situation. I was just ask the doctor how he/she does it. It`s okay to be a bit nervous about it, I was. But I just tried reminding myself that hundreds of woman go through this (c-section) and are fine.

  5. i found a lump on Grace`s thigh a couple days ago, and it didnt bother her then for me to feel around for it but today when i felt for it she didn`t like me to touch it. i know that sometimes with shots a baby can get a lump where the shot was done but she hasn`t had shots since she was six months. i know that it wasn`t there before because i rub her down with lotion almost everyday. i am going to the ergent care clinic tomorrow because i am concerned but i am scared that i am thinking all this horrible stuff for no reason. should i be worried or could it just be from the shots???


  6. *Strech Marks* - Today i posted this photo, and struggled doing it. I have been crying all day about my tummy, and it could be hormones but i dont feel attractive anymore.
