I got my dressing off quite quickly. Wee machine cause issues for me going for wee naturally. Had to have the tap running and watch videos on my phone for it to come.
Make sure to take a picture of your scar when dressing comes off so that when you check it regularly you will know if it gets bad or how nicely it is healing.

I got my dressing taken off today. Here's what you need to do:
• Allow air to get to it
• Wipe at the adhesive, not the scar, if you want to get rid of the sticky stuff from the dressing. Go gently as it may still feel a little tender
• When washing the scar, do not use soap or drag/scrub at the area. Gently pat it to wash and dry. Make sure to dry it thoroughly
• Don't wear underwear that will sit on the area. Wear cotton underwear that goes over your stomach.
If you have any questions as this is my second time, don't be afraid to message 😊
Aw thank you ladies is it sore when they are removing the dressing 🤦 x

Not really. The initial trying to pull might a little, but they take it slow because you have just had a c section. If it is on some hairs, it might pull a little but overall, no
aw good lol 😁 can cope with that x

Not really it is just a very sticky plaster. It will pull at the small hairs on stomach and any pubic ones they have managed to stick down
