    It should be in your hospital notes. Apparently a midwife had a discussion with some doctors and Obs who laughed and said that it wouldn't happen here in Australia and was not a problem, but on going through some patients notes, she clearly saw that they had done a single layer. It's a good idea to add the request to your birth preferences so you can make it clear that you definitely want double layer...

    Sarah,
    the ob or surgeon that did your op. will have written an operation report which should list the information you want. You could write to the hospital and ask either for the copy of the operation report or just ask the specific question on whether you had a double or single layer closure. Alternatively you could get your GP to write as sometimes hospitals are reluctant to give patients medical information in case it is misunderstood.
