7 weeks post C section scar

I am really proud of how it’s healed. I highly recommend using 100% medical grade silicone gel everyday after 4-5 weeks. Makes a big difference!

This looks beautiful!
I had so much pulling done that it was all blue bruising for me for 2 months !
I also used the silicon sheets later and yes it works well !

I got to try it because mines looks bruised alittle.

I need all the suggestions. What else is needed? Brand(s) used? Still mentally trying to wrap my brain around needing a C-section this time around.

mine pulled that much that ive got stretch marks from the healing

oh wow . I also got stretch marks but on my sides . Never had one the entire pregnancy 🥲.
Silicon sheets didn’t work on the stretch marks . Vitamin E oil did a little

hi! I had my own abdominal binder I brought to the hospital, it was much better than the one they gave me. I found it on Amazon! I also use the Frida mom c section silicone patches, in combination with silicone scar gel I got off Amazon.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
