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.

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

it just dissolved, I never noticed anything!

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

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
