Staples or stitches??

Im just curious for moms who have had c sections already. Did they put staples or stitches?? I noticed a girl the other day on here asking about getting staples removed, and I thought they didnt do that anymore. I wouldnt know because Ive only given vaginal births to my children but would love to know in case I ever had to have one done. Thanks ladiez!

It all depends on what they want to do or what you ask. I got sitiches that dissolved with glue.

My friend recently gave birth and they glued her shut. Idk why they would be using staples.. I didn't think they did that anymore either

Thats what i was thinking when i saw the post. I didnt know they still used staples and idk but staples seem so much more painful.

I had a C section 2 months ago and I got staples. When they took them out it just felt like they were tugging at hairs. It really didn't hurt.

They stitch the inside with dissolvable stitches and will either glue or staple the outside. I've had both , I prefer the glue lol
