Re: Post Natal Infection
It very well could have been from a c-section. If she had infection like that, they would have to remove the dead skin and tissue. It almost looks like she may have a touch of gangrene. From personal experience I know that they do NOT reclose a c-section once there is infection, the let it close on its own. My second child was a vbac (vaginal birth after cesarean) My uterus ruptured, so of course they had to cut me anyway to go repair. It was EXACTLY the same cut as a c-section. I had staples, they were taken out the day I left the hospital. Seemed WAY to early, maybe 48 hours. The day after I got home, I went and sat on the couch, and heard a pop. I felt my incision and sure enough, it was wide open. They told me to keep it covered and dry, and they just let it heal on its own. At the end I had a small spot that had formed a lip and it was infected. They removed a small area of tissue and cauterized it. All together it took about 3 months to heal.

Re: Post Natal Infection
I got an infection from my c section and I spent 2 months in wound therapy trying to fix it. Hospitals are fin rife with staph and mersa infections. Dunno what her gash is. But mine OPENED with puss oozing out about 1 week after my section. The doctor reopened me and packed me with gauze and I wore a vaccum to suck the puss out for months. NIGHTMARE. |
