Thanks now I have a couple question for my doctor tom such as I want to be closed with stiches staples and glue joke lol but never thought about how he was going to close my belly humm
I wasn't required to go #2 before going home. And I was glued shut. You'd think I live in a third world country, haha! But I live in a big city with world class medical facilities. I guess there are lots of different ways of doing things. :) Maybe ask your doctor how long they'll keep you so you have a better idea. Congrats on your baby!
Actually I didn't mention the first bowel after a cesarean delivery because that is not the case in all deliveries. My first 3 yes, doctors changed certain regulations. Some woman take longer to pass a bowel then others. It doesn't necessarily mean there is a bowel structure or injury. Simply some take longer. Up to a week as a matter of fact, it's common! Maybe not to person who's had just 4 or less but from experience and research it's normal. Stool softener is given to help loosen bowels, it's not a laxative exactly. So your not expecting to run to the bathroom every minute. But it's to help soften your making it easier on your body to pass bowels without using other methods.
And I live fairly close to Tennessee, I live in Georgia. Dermabond, should never and isn't medically safe to continue using if the mother has had at least one cesarean. More then one cesarean delivery, dermabond holds risk for a lot of complications!!! And none of which are it's sole purpose, bonding. It's unlikely to be successful after a previous cesarean, on the other hand. Sutures and staples are!
The glue is called what??? DERMABOND...It's a medical super glue. And yeah, some doctors are willing to risk more then others.
Also they keep u for3 to 2 days to see if u go # 2 and bleeding is normal.
