I see people mention 'having the staples out' after a c-section all the time on this group, and I'm so confused about it because I had two c-sections, and I never had staples...both times I had stitches that were self-dissolving. Whats the difference? I've had staples with all 3 of mine. I had mine removed each time just before leaving the hospital. Never had a problem. I had staples and they were taken out the day after my c-section while I was still in the hospital. Littlest pinpricks, no pain at all. They were replaced with steri strips(sp) which were removed officially at my 2 week postpartum care appointment. |
