? for those who had c-sections & staples.
I had my staples removed today. You think I would as how do I care for the incision..Nope, totally didnt ask.. 
When staples were in, I was using peroxide (dr. told me in hospital to do so). Do I continue with peroxide?
I feel so silly right now. I cannot believe I didnt ask.

Re: ? for those who had c-sections & staples.
nope no peroxirde. did they put a tape cover over where the staples were??? if they did you can just shower regular and the tape will eventually fall off, if they didnt cover them. a normal shower is the only thing you have to do. wasnt it the best feeling getting those staples out.?

Re: ? for those who had c-sections & staples.
Nothing at all. I just would let the soap drip down onto it when I showered. And then pat dry.

Re: ? for those who had c-sections & staples.
I didn't have any special instrutions other than drying them after a shower.
I delivered at NS in Manhasset and when I left they gave me a packet and inside was the direct number to the maternity nurses station. I think I called once or twice b/c I had questions. Check inside any paperwork that the hospital gave you and you may find the number.

Re: ? for those who had c-sections & staples.
MAKE SURE YOU PAT DRY!!!! TOTALLY DRY! I don't think I let mine dry enough and with the "overhang" it started to get funky (eww! TMI). After a while, I used the haridryer just to make sure it was good and dry.
I put bacitracin on it and a gauze so it didn't stick to my underwear and my "extra" skin. The doc didn't tell me to do it that way, I just did.

I had steri strips over the incision after the staples were taken out. I didn't have to do anything.

Re: ? for those who had c-sections & staples.
I also wasn't told to use anything special on it. I would just also pat dry after the shower and if it was a day when the baby wouldn't let me shower (because lets admit it, it happens in the beginning) I would make sure to use a washcloth to gently clean that area every day.

Re: ? for those who had c-sections & staples.
Thank You all so much. They did mention in the hospital about showering and letting the soap and water drip down. Ive been doing that daily. I go back next Mon. for a "check" so hopefully all will be ok.
