I want them offfff!

So I'm almost 3 weeks PP from my C-section....I feel pretty much fully healed, and my body is almost back to normal now except for a little tiny pudge. Anyways, I still have the Steri Strips over my incision which the doctor said would come off on their own...but they haven't shown any signs of coming off on their own, and I REALLY need to shave down there (it is really freaking bothering me...ughhhh) and they are in my way lol. Should I just take them off myself? My stitches are on the inside, and they are the dissolvable kind. What do yall think?

i think you should just make an appt to have your Ob get them off just so you don't risk messing anything up!

Take them off yourself

I would leave them on. When mine started to peel off then i would take them off the rest of the way

I was told to wait like a week from the day I left the hospital and then I could pull off the steri strips.

True, I do have an appt. Thursday....

Hun, you can take them off after having them on for 10 days.

After i was sure my incision was closed i just started taking baths and soaking and they came off within maybe 3 or 4 baths

i took mine off after the first week...i couldn't take it anymore, lol.

Yeah I've tried that...they have loosened up a tiny bit, but not much at all.

love it ;) hahaha

I would leave them on! Becauee my I had my breast surgery my Dr told me to leave them on until they fell off on their own because they also help make your incision heal better.. they come off, they'll just take some time, but I wouldn't mess with them-

I just took them off lol. My incision looks good though. I'm going to put some Vitamin E tablet oil on it and neosporin to help it heal.
