In case you\u2019re not familiar with the whole C-section process<\/a>, here’s what Jenny is referencing: After a woman has her baby, doctors may use staples or sutures to close the incision. It seems to be a doctor\u2019s preference\u2014staples are faster and easier to use, which is why they\u2019re used a lot. But a 2014 study published in Obstetrics Gynecology<\/a><\/em> found that stitches might be a slightly safer option: Just 4.9 percent of new moms with sutures had wound complications compared to 10.6 percent of women with staples. That doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re totally screwed if your doctor uses staples\u2014it just might be slightly safer to go with stitches.<\/p>\n

Of course, if you get staples, you need to have them removed but you\u2019re still probably not totally healed. That\u2019s where Steri-strips come in. These little wound-closing bandages help keep C-section incisions (and other wounds) closed to help them heal after staples or stitches are removed.<\/p>\n

Obviously women go through a lot with C-sections (and childbirth in general), but so many don\u2019t discuss it. Props to Jenny for being refreshingly honest about the whole experience.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
