C-section scar - four months on. What is yours looking like?

Mine has gone a dark purple colour and is raised. I have no idea whether this is part of the normal healing process! To be honest I try to avoid looking at it most of the time...

Mine is still quite sore and I feel funny touching it. My partner keeps saying I need to put some bio oil on it but I can’t bring myself to touch the area!

Hi Katy, mine is purplish too I think. I don’t look at it very often after I had a bad infection on the one side. When I touch along it, it feels raised. It’s such a tricky thing to go through xx

Mine is a light pink. It's not sore but it is still numb in places.. I find it quite strange so I'm often poking the numb bits haha. I've also started to massage mine

Mines quite faded now but i was under Gen An for a my c section so i dont know if that made any difference or not. I'd heard recently about c section scar massage to help with the numb feeling and scar tissue so it's worth looking into

Hey ladies, I have been doing scar massage since week 8 since all the healing has been done. I also use an oil like bio oil. Just 5 mins a day has really helped the sensitivity and appearance

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
