C section scar infected ? ( picture included )

I took steri strips at 6 weeks and noticed the right end of my incision is a bit red. I’m not in any pain is this normal? It’s not open, or oozing any liquid

Doesn’t look infected and if you have no other signs then your probably okay if your worried keep an eye on it and wash it and keep dry still.

One side of your wound is usually more bruised and upset as that’s where the clamp is during surgery and where you are closed off.

Doesn’t look infected, looks like the closure end.

Infection is smells and heat x

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
