Yes had it but got prescribed 7 days of antibiotics, then felt fine after a few days of taking them. If you are given antibiotics check with your doctor if you can breast feed whilst taking them, I wasn't allowed to x

Hello what are the symptoms of a wound infection?

Mine was pain, redness, oozing and feeling generally unwell

I had this and had to be on antibiotics for 3 weeks. I felt better around 2-3 days after starting the antibiotics (through IV at the hospital). Hope you feel better soon! ❤️‍🩹

I’m more than 5 weeks in and still infected. Changed my antibiotics 3 times. The pain is unbearable and smells disgusting 😭🥹

it’s awful isn’t it!

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 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
