C section ?
If you have a c section do you have a choice of getting staples or stitches? Or do the doctors automatically staple you up? Just trying to prepare ahead.

Re: C section ?
I think it depends on the situation and on the doctor. I know many doctors use staples, but mine used disolvable stitches and I was thankful!

Re: C section ?
My Dr didn' ask me he just used staples, I'm going to ask him to use stitches next time, it hurt when he took those staples out....

Re: C section ?
Staples. My dr. didnt ask. That night he came into my room and was like, "Ok, let me check the staples"..LOL..I had no clue. Totally assumed I was stitched.

Re: C section ?
I got stiches, but I knew the resident attending my doctor and she told me that is the way she liked to go so she told the Doctor she was doing that (he usually used staples).

Re: C section ?
I specifically asked for the dissolving stitches and the steri-strips. Luckily, my OB does not prefer the staples, so it was not too much of a discussion

Re: C section ?
I think it's doc preference, mine used staples and they were taken out before i left the hospital. I have a small thin scar.
ETA; Taking the staples out didn't hurt at all for me since you are numb around the incision for awhile.
