Re: popped c section stitch?

I don't know about popping an internal one, but I popped quite a few external ones. The Dr. told me it was extremely rare to do that to the inside stitches as they heal a lot quicker. I'd give the dr.a call if you are worried.

I also popped some external stitches but it was okay. I dont know anything about popping internal ones but take it easy and be careful

Re: popped c section stitch?

I thought I popped one when I lifted Jeremy 3 weeks PP. I had PAIN for about a week and a burning sensation. When I went for my 6 wk check up doc pushed on the spot where I said it hurt and he said"nope, no hole there" Nothing inside opened up to cause a hernia. I just pulled it and OMG did that hurt!

I had that burning stretching feeling too, and it started almost immediately after and then disappeared at around 2 1/2 weeks. I didn't pop any stitches though...

Re: popped c section stitch?

ok...then maybe its ok--its a burning sensation kind of.
I already have a umbilical hernia so maybe related...

thank u! I was nervous!

Re: popped c section stitch?

I had a burning sensation on the right side of my incision as well. I just figured I overdid things. Feels ok now and its been 3 weeks since the c-s
