Hey ladies I have a question. I had a cesarean nd everyone keeps asking me if I went to get my stitches removed. But in the hospital nobody told me I have to get them remove. I'm now 2 weeks nd 1 day from my surgery. Someone told me if it staples I have to get it remove but I got tape/stitches so idk if I have to get it remove. Nd I'm really worry because my mother in law told me tht if I don't get it remove now it would be hard to get it remove later on.

my sister had the tape every hospital is diff. her doc just said keep area clean and tape will fall off on its own. she had stitches in the inside. Just call the hospital and ask. good luck.
the tape comes off. the stitches dissolve, I'm surprised the doctor didn't explain this to you. I've had 3 C-section's.
Call the doctor that did your c-section and ask. You can also go to the hospital, your records are still there. They were suppose to send you home with directions&appointments;.
I'm not sure but they will probably tell you at your 6 weeks postpartum checkup but you can always call and ask!
u should have a f/u apt if u didn't already, I had 2 c-section first was staples second tape, both times they automatically handled it on my f/u apt which is usually around 1-3 weeks after u have the baby I believe, they should have given u instructions with your discharge papers b4 u left it should all be in that paperwork which and what kind of stitches you have/or had and proper care or removal, most don't use basic stitches anymore it's the dissolved ones and in extra support cases a few staples but like I said they will remove the ones that don't wind up falling out on their own
