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.
