Do you get random bruising after a C-section? I had my section last Sunday and this bruise randomly appeared a few days ago I’m concerned because it’s in the middle of my belly and I’m certain I’ve not banged it anyone had this

I’m bruised all over my belly lower belly, even a little higher up where I’m assuming my internal stitches are. It looks horrible and I’ve only looked once and can’t being myself to look again 🥴

I didn’t bruise at all, I’d definitely get it checked to be safe x

I had bruises too following my c section the midwives weren’t concerned when they saw it x

It's okay to have brusies...if your have fever or in pain definitely call GP or midwife, if you worried just ask them x

yes i had brusing, they have to move everything around so guessing its the normal

Yes I bruised all around the incision, goes away quicker than normal bruises though 😉

I would definitely call. If you’re not sure where it’s come from and it wasn’t there soon after the delivery I would get it checked just in case

18w gender scan

Has anyone had a gender scan where the sonographer was about as confident as they could be about baby's gender, then found out it was wrong later? We had a private scan today at 18+1 and we're over the moon but part of me is just scared we will have our anomaly scan in a couple of weeks and be told otherwise!! Sonographer today did seem very confident but I am just anxious 😅

Mucus plug

I’ve noticed today that my plug is starting to come loose a few hours ago.
I’m 39 weeks on Sunday and scheduled for induction the day after my due date next Sunday .
There is no blood it’s thick and fairly clear. How long after losing it did you go into labor if you had a similar timed experience?
How do I know when it’s gone? I’m more than ready to have this baby I just don’t know what I’m supposed to expect my body to do from this point forward. First time mom.
My mom and sister both never experienced water breaks so I’m not sure if I will or not.
