Yikes, scary stuff. I actually looked aftr a woman with a similar staory. She had a c/s, went home on oral antibiotics for a mild infection. She came back about a week later and her wound was so grossly infected, I almost passed out when I first seen it. I could have fit my hold arm through the hole in her abdo. Worst thing was she was a Jehovas witness and wouldn't accept blood products. Her hb was so low she almost died. She did have a blood alternative which was injected, but this is not effective as quickly. She was in hospital for months cause her wound just wouldn't heal. She had her young baby girl stay in hosp with her. After many surgeries and trying every type of wound healing dressing available, she did make it home. Although I don't think she realised how she close it was for her to lose the battle. She had so much ooze out of her wound we would be reinforcing it constantly. Was honestly the most horribe thing I have ever seen. I think we do jump in quickly to have c/s, and must remember that it is major surgery and can have massive complications!! And I agree Kelly, my Mum was forced (almost 28yrs ago!!) to have a c/s with me on New Years Eve cause her ob was going away for New Years!!! Hmmmm, but have things changed much.......
