Ugh, I just did the exact same thing... fingers crossed this stuff disappears soon because my clothes are literally sticking to it every single time I move.

Quick question... I gave birth via C-section about two weeks ago. They let me head home on day five after doing the usual checks, cleaning up the incision, and the doctor mentioned there were some little stitches on one side of the wound... but since then, nobody’s said a word about them. All I got was "take the bandage off on day eight and you can shower normally." Well, now I'm looking at that exact same spot—maybe an inch from the edge of the incision—and I can see this little thread poking out of my skin. It looks white, clear, almost plastic-y... I have no clue what I should do with it. Is it just supposed to fall out on its own, or does someone actually need to pull it out? I see some people in here mentioning they had appointments scheduled specifically to get their stitches removed on day eight, but nobody ever told me anything about that, and it’s definitely not mentioned in my discharge papers...
