    Hello

    I had intravenous Antibiotics that were set up in theatre. i had torn cervix and bladder which is why they administered antibiotics.

    My stitches were taken out after I was discharged from hospital so I kept a keen eye for signs of infection including redness or oozing. The moment I saw the tiniest bit of redness I dabbed betadine solution on the wound. I also exposed the wound a few times a day to direct sunlight which apparently assists in wound healing. like many of the other girls i placed a large pad over the wound for protection. i continued with the betadine and pads evev after the stiches came out.

    I would ask your ob pre surgery if he will give them to you.
    i understand your concerns.....i am about to have my second cs and infection is a big worry.

    good luck
