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

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

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

Am I still pregnant after bleeding?

I found out I was pregnant on Friday and started bleeding on Monday. I went to the hospital, and they said they could not tell if I was having a miscarriage because im still early 4 weeks and 1 day. They told me to go back in 3 to 4 days to see if my HCG levels are going up or down. I took this pregnancy test this morning while im still bleeding, and it came out positive. Could it be possible that im still pregnant, or will it stay positive for a while if I am having a miscarriage?
