Is this okay?

Question

Is this a big enough rip to go in for? I feel sick to my stomach. For other c-section moms that have had it rip, what’d they do about it?! I’m scared 😭

Answer

Yeah i think that is scary, I would suggest you go in for it just to be safe.

Answer

That's pretty normal, you likley moved the wrong way and opened it up.
There is no redness and I dont see any pus. The tissue is pink and you can see the granulation beginning to come in underneath.
I would keep it clean and bandaged. That should heal nicely.
If you want to go in, by all means do so, but this is not an issue.

🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ This happened to me when I had my daughter almost 11 months ago! And my rip was WAY bigger than that😣 My doctor noticed it at my one week check up and he said it was up to me what I wanted to do because to close it, they would have to open it. So it’d be another surgery. He suggested to leave it alone because doing another cut could do more harm than good (infection, more recovery) What I did was at night I would lay on a towel or something and push lightly to drain any fluid and then I’d lay there to let it dry. After a week or so when I noticed it wasn’t leaking at much I would put Neosporin around the area and cover it with a bandaid. Eventually it got red and itchy and I went to the doctor but it was just part of the healing and closing process, just like any other wound that gets itchy and red as it’s healing. As long as it’s not smelling weird or discolored (green, yellowish) I would say you’re good! I wore a pad horizontal in that area too so if it leaked during the day it didn’t get on my underwear. Also, I don’t know what led to your cesarean, but my doctor said this is pretty common with patients that go into labor on their own and then end up having a cesarean (which happened to me) rather than someone who goes in with a planned one. It took about 6-8 weeks for mine to close fully, but like I said mine was much bigger. Ultimately it’s up to you if you want to go in and have it looked at, but I would say that you’re okay! Especially with everything going on right now, an unnecessary trip to the doctor might not be the best. But it’s your decision! If you still want to go in, maybe call the nurse hotline and see what they say, maybe they’ll want to check it just in case. Good luck! And congratulations❤️

Answer

You defiantly need to go? That’s is a huge opening. And it looks like puss might be infected.
