I didn't have staples with mine but my belly was hard. I had a bunch of fluid that was infected behind the incision. Please call your dr, especially if there's any foul smelling drainage or if you have a fever.

Itching may just be healing. I would call the dr to check and see if they are okay with witch hazel on it. If you put some on a make up round or something and sponge across it can relieve itching. Feel better soon!

No foul smell and no fever. Just itching!

I had my staples in for one week. Once they were out, so much relief!

They feel like a hard pinch when they come out. But again it's sweet relief when they are out.

No Kendra. If anything just a little sting on a few. I've had 3 c-sections. Feels so much better after they are out!

I only had staples for 4 days. I only remember itching when it got infected.

You may have an infection... Call your doctor to make sure

I had my staples in for exactly one week. As for the itching, I had tiny little bumps all over my belly a few days after that itched like crazy. Nurse gave me Zyrtec to take and said I was probably allergic to the cleaning solution they wiped me with before surgery. It cleared up quick. I have my second c section tomorrow and they will not be using the same solution this time so hopefully I won't have any itching!
