hello

Help. What could this be? It looks like a small thread and is inside. I was not stitched, I had surgical glue. Should I be worried?

You would have had stitches inside lovely. It's a stitch coming out. Sometimes they do if they don't dissolve your body starts to reject it and push it out. Quite common x

Judging by the fact it's coming out I'm guessing your 3-5 weeks pp?x

Ohh, I didn't think of that, thank you very much for reassuring me. Do I need to call the doctor to remove the wire?

It will be a little stitch. It's likely mostly dissolved so you could give a small pull and it'll come out by yourself. If it's tight then maybe go see your Dr. It's a stitch, not a wire so shouldn't be difficult as long as it's not still tied inside. X

They usually dissolve within 2 weeks so the body starts to reject them if they don't dissolve hence my 3-5 week guess. X

Yes, definitely a stitch. I had this happened to me around about 4 weeks. I was told to leave it and be careful to not catch it. So just wear big nickers of you're not already and when drying the area, dab it more gently. It went away about a week later x

Thank you very much for reassuring me, I thought that thread would cause an infection and I was worried. Xx 💋

No, it should go soon by itself. Just keep an eye on that area, if it starts to go red/ warm to touch or leak then definitely give you doctor a call.

I literally panicked about everything with my scar, I'm 8 weeks PP now and still get scared of infection 😆 x

I would call OB or ON CALL DOCTORS

I will definitely do it in the morning. Xx❤️

Do not pull. I had the same at around 4 weeks pp and scratched it which caused it to start bleeding. It's all gone now

Its a stitch I've had this before keep clean and is it hurts or gets hot have it checked but other than thatas others have said it will resolve itself.

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?
