DRC-Section Birth TRUTH no one tells you 💔
C-section stitches are not just on the outside…
and they don’t even have a fixed number 🤯
This is about knowing the truth, not creating fear ❤️
😑 So many people believe:
C-section = only a few stitches
But what you don’t see…
is what the mother goes through.
🤯 Reality:
Before the skin is closed, several internal layers are stitched using absorbable sutures.
Skin.
Fat.
Muscles.
Uterus.
Every single layer is closed separately.
Every stitch is placed with care —
to prevent infection,
to reduce scarring,
to help a mother heal ❤️🩹
On average, 25–30 stitches are needed.
But the number changes — depending on the body and the surgeon’s technique.
📌 That’s why there is no fixed answer to “How many stitches did you get?”
🙌 What truly matters is healing, rest, and care —
not counting stitches.
💡Pro tip:
Ask for absorbable subcutaneous stitches on skin
for better cosmetic results and scar appearance.
So the next time someone says,
“C-section is the easy way out” —
Say this loudly.
This is not a shortcut.
This is major abdominal surgery.
💞 Every birth story matters.
💞 Every mother deserves respect — no matter how her baby arrived.
📌 Save this — many moms-to-be are confused
