With DS who was an emergency CS, she came everyday for a few daysm then every few days, then once a week I think. she wanted to make sure he as feeding properly as we were haivng problems wit it.
With DD, I had an elective and I knew what I was doing and breastfeeding went well, so i saw her maybe once or twice a week.
Plunket saw us at 6 weeks both times, and then usually once a month for the first few months then just whenever the wellchild checks are due.
Yeah I would ring the maternity ward to check staples vs stitches if you don't hear from her. That is pretty dumbo, can't believe you weren't told what to do before you left hospital. Yip, no baths only showers and make sure it is really dry (pat only!!!)
What kind of dressing have you got, mine was sort of see through so I could see the wound and it stayed on til the 10th day, didn't change it at all.
They should totally only do the stitches that you don't need out, so much easier....wonder why some don't?
