Hi Everyone
We recently had our beautiful daughter via C-section as she was in breach position and everything went well and we are all now safety home
One confusing issue for us however is that the scar was bound by non dissolvable stitches, one continuous stitch with beads at both ends. When the midwife came to remove the stitch at day 10 she had a lot of problems and broke one of the beads, and this meant there is not enough of the stitch after the break for her to grasp and remove the long stitch. Trying from the other side had the same issue
She says this has happened to 3 other patients she has tried recently, and rang the Hospital to advise us on how to proceed. She was told by them to simply leave the long stitch in place as it will cause no long term harm
Has anyone else had this problem before? We are worried about trusting one persons opinion on leaving it in but can find precious little help on Google
Any replies or help greatly received
Many thanks
Simon and Karen
