Episiotomy stitches split open?

Taken photo of down below and can see 2 bits of string/ stitches and it looks tight and smooth but below it’s bulging. Wondering if this needs to be restitched or left to heel like it is, but it won’t heel over smooth will it.

I’ve rung triage twice and not had nobody call me back or help. I don’t know what to do 😭

Unlikely they will re stitch, same happened to me and they said they will leave it as restitch can cause longer recoverys.
I'm now 7.5 weeks PP and I feel pretty much normal downstairs x
Get it checked though to be on the safe side

Mine are currently sore and I got my midwife to check them yesterday at my 5 day check up and she said it’s the knot from where they finished the stitches but didn’t tuck them in. That could be what you can see? X

No it’s not a knot. It’s opened up 😭

oh no 😞 call your gp?! Sound uncomfortable I hope you’re okay x

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
