Re: C-Section Moms - Steri Strips
Mine never fell off. The edges came up a little so I slowly pulled at them when I was int he shower and they were wet. I would say by day 10 I ripped those babies off. I was itchy and had enough.

I peeled mine off after 2 weeks.
Same here, and the day after I peeled them off I reopened the corner of my incision...

Re: C-Section Moms - Steri Strips
Whatever hadn't already started to peel off on it's own, I just helped along by peeling them more

Re: C-Section Moms - Steri Strips
I have my check up on Tuesday. if they don't start to fall off by then I will ask my midwife if she can remove them. I am scared to do it - I think I may rip the incision open

Re: C-Section Moms - Steri Strips
I don't remember when the Dr took them off but I do remember they weren't falling off on their own

Re: C-Section Moms - Steri Strips
I was so nervous about touching around the scar so I had the doctor take them off for me.

Re: C-Section Moms - Steri Strips
About 2 weeks for them to all fall off - they drove me crazy as they were itchy too.

Re: C-Section Moms - Steri Strips
Julie, I just took mine off today and I'm 8 days post partum. I didn't have staples (by request) they just used steri-strips and they got loose in the shower so I peeled them off today.
Feels so much better!

Re: C-Section Moms - Steri Strips
About 4 fell off their own within 2 weeks. The other ones were stubborn and I pulled them off myself after 3 weeks.
Hope your recovery is going well.
