C section pain

Hii ladies, so it’s been 15 weeks since my emergency C-section and im still in a lot of pain with it. I expected my stomach to feel numb for quite some time but my actual scar constantly feels like i’m catching it on something. Is this normal?

ah so it sounds like it could be normal then. No one prepares you for how long the recovery is x

I'm 15m and I still get that feeling in my scar area sometimes! Makes me feel icky.
Are you taking any pain relief? X

I'm almost 6 months PP and I still get the catching sensation, sometimes I think I just make it up though tbh 🤣

I was getting that feeling though to begin with and it was a stitch that didn't dissolve, I think I was about week 13 x

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?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
