Dermabond (c/s scar)?

atc282atc282
in VBAC

I remember them saying that the external part of the incision was put back together with a thing called dermabond. He basically said it was like a "heavy-duty super glue"

I have an appt with my dr. tomorrow but was wondering in the meantime if this will affect in any way my hopes of a VBAC? I had a normal, bikini-line incision but am hoping that the "glue" won't be an issue for attempting to VBAC

TIA

    I'm pretty sure thats what I had as well.  I know it was glue.  Granted its real early but they have oked me for VBAC.  I wouldn't think how you were done up on the outside would matter.  I think their main concern is the inside.

    I had Dermabond too and had a VBAC.  Dermabond does not pose any issues for VBAC.  The rupture concern has to do with the scar on your uterus, not the scar on your skin.

    My OB/MW knew going into my c-section that I would want a VBAC, and I had dermabond.

    I don't really think (or, at least I hope) [good] doctors use many techniques that are VBAC prohibitive these days.

    Ditto. The uterus is closed with suture. The last layer of tissue (before the skin) is closed with suture, too. Dermabond is only used to close the skin, so it doesn't affect the potential for VBAC.

     

    High-risk L&D nurse...If in doubt, go to triage!
