I have these little things sticking out of my incision very short thread-like strings. ( I had staples). They are very small you almost can't see them but you can feel them when you run your finger up and down the scar. It's been 3 weeks since the c-section. I tried to pick it out gently but they're attached to the inside of my scar so I left them alone. I know weird. Anybody else?

The incision through the skin is closed with staples, but the ones inside are closed with st_tches that dissolve. Maybe it's the ends of the st_tches inside sticking out. You should call and ask your doctor about it, but if that's what it is, they should eventually dissolve.

Jbear is right. They are internal stiches. There are many layers of tissue and the uterus that the surgeon closes with dissolvable sutures. When they start to dissolve on the inside, the part that is left hanging out will come loose and fall off.
