glue instead of stitches?

did anyone get glue instead of stitches if so share ur experience w me! My cousin told me about the other day and how she did it and i didnt even know this was an option! I was curios because i might try no epidural if i can and want to avoid pain like that after.

I had glue and staples

I had a first degree tear and got glue. For some reason I thought a first degree tear was like a paper cut, it’s not… but the glue worked fine! I had some light stinging when I peed for a few days after but I think I would have if I’d had stitches too. The nurse really wanted to do stitches but I just kept clarifying I’d rather have glue.

Are we talking c section or vaginal? Vaginal I had stitches C section they did a glue patch thing. Hurt like hell to get removed but the nurse who did it was super nice.

@Mandie how did you get the glue removed? Was it like ripping a bandaid off or did it dissolve?

Yup it’s a thing now. It’s genius

@Autumn it just dissolved, I never noticed anything!

@Asha Staples??? oh my gosh i’ve never heard of that one for birth

@Emma yeah… and they had to take em out too 😬 Wait 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had a C-section 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lmaoooooo ignore me ignore me ignore me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had stitches with my vaginal birth and she used lidocaine and the thread dissolved apologies 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I misunderstood
