Turns out it was a knot.. MW removed it this afternoon for me as it was irritating.]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 21:00:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423988&title=stitches-showing#423988 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423927&title=stitches-showing#423927 Author: busymum

My body rejected my dissolvable stitches and pushed them to the surface. mw pulled them out.]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:29:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423927&title=stitches-showing#423927 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423315&title=stitches-showing#423315 Author: 2bmumof3

I had a knot showing either end of mine to. Had mw cut them off as were causing discomfort (ended up with infection where one was) but they were disolvable and would have gone/dropped off by themselves eventually.]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:04:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423315&title=stitches-showing#423315 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423311&title=stitches-showing#423311 Author: Bobbie

I had dissolvable ones and there were knots at either end. At 4 weeks the MW just pulled them taut and cut them so that there was no stitching above the skin.

I had that knot too (some people have beads on that end) and like Peachy it was there one day and gone the next! I wouldn't worry too much about it if it's not bothering you
You'll probably notice it more now because your scar is beginning to shrink too ]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:33:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423140&title=stitches-showing#423140 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423134&title=stitches-showing#423134 Author: peachy

I had a knot at one end, I never did anything to it and then one day it was gone!]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:26:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423134&title=stitches-showing#423134 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423092&title=stitches-showing#423092 Author: MissAngel

Oh maybe thats what it is then? the knot at the end.. If I could get hold of my bloody midwife then i'd ask her, they are dissolvable ones :)]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 07:15:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423092&title=stitches-showing#423092 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423068&title=stitches-showing#423068 Author: Two Blondinis

I pulled out the knot at the end and OMG

Most c-sections are sewn up with disposable stitches but I have heard of someone going back to hospital to get her stitches removed.]]> Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:15:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423068&title=stitches-showing#423068 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423050&title=stitches-showing#423050 Author: emz

Are they dissolvable stitches (sorry don't know what they use in c-sects but I assume they are)? If so, you can just pull them out. I had them with my breast reduction recently and just pulled one when it came to the surface. All it means is that there's not enough fluid to dissolve them so the body spits them out.

I'm sick but I had fun looking for mine once I got over the ick factor! They just popped up every day. DH thinks I'm nuts, I don't disagree with him.]]> Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:49:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=423050&title=stitches-showing#423050 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=422961&title=stitches-showing#422961 Author: MissAngel

Um, I was having a shower and cleaning my wound from the caesar, and noticed theres a few stiches poking thru the skin.. Is this normal from shrinkage of the wound or should I be going to see someone about it? It doesnt hurt or anything. ]]> Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:42:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18551&PID=422961&title=stitches-showing#422961
