Does this look normal???

I’m 8 almost 9 weeks post Partum. I had an infection with 2 rounds of antibiotics but it’s been hurting again the last few days and I just wondered if it looks okay?

Mine looked like that and got told to keep it clean and dry, I cleaned it then kept it covered with bandages from my first aid kit for a few days it seemed to help and now as almost 4 months mine now looks a lot better

oh okay thank you I’ll do that! I thought I was over the infection so stopped cleaning it and it seems to be coming back. This time my recovery seems to be a right pain in the arse!
Thank you xxx

Looks good! Mine was the same I kept getting minor infections due to a slight overhang what saved me and cleared it up very fast was the pharmacy wound plasters I kept it in for 5 days at a time and it kept it nice and dry antibiotics did nothing for me

My overhang is what was making it so hard to keep the infection away when it was still healing on the outside

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
