As your baby is being delivered by CS, you will be given an injection of Syntocinon into a vein. This is an artificial form of oxytocin, a hormone(a chemical found naturally in your body) that causes your womb to contract. When your womb has contracted(after 1-2 minutes) your surgeon will deliver the placenta. She/He will then close the cuts in your womb with dissolvable stitches. Your surgeon will close your abdomen using stitches or clips and put a dressing over your wound. The stitches in your womb don't need to be removed. Depending on the technique your surgeon uses, you may need to have the abdominal stitches taken out or they may dissolve.
