4 weeks postpartum c section incision still open
4 weeks postpartum c section incision still open
Anyone else have a csection still open. Im starting to have no hope. I have 3 open incisions. Ive been putting gauze in everyday and biacitracin because possible infection. So i took oral antibiotic for 8 days 4 times a day. Plus ointment. Now doc wants me to take another. :/ i just want to shower lije a normal human being. Im loosing hope at 6 weeks that i still will be open.

It needs to stay dry do not put on the antibiotic unless it is infected the gods may help to absorb any of the moisture also do not be lifting anything heavier than your baby mine was completely closed after 2 weeks that's what the doctor said on my check up also this is my second section

It may depend on how your doctor stitched you back up. I'm 3 weeks pp and it's all healed. Doctor did in skin dissolvable sutures. I kept the same dressing in for a week pp as per the doctor. And after I removed the dressing and showered I would let it air dry after patting dry after a shower

Hmm i showered 24 hours after. No dressing. I feel like if it was covered more and not so wet i would have had a better chance
