Underwear for apron belly?!

I've had 2 c sections in 2 years and I've been left with an overhang (apron belly).

Just wondering what shape of underwear people find flattering now? Something sexier than the granny pants I've found myself wearing to keep tucked in 😂😂😂

I wear high wasted so it goes above the hang, too self conscious for anything else 😂

ASOS do some nice high waisted thongs - Lacy, sexy and covers the pooch 😆 never fails to make me feel better about my belly and confident to take my clothes off in front of the hubby without feeling like a nana 😂

I wear highleg ones as they come higher up to cover my c section and also look flattering!

High waisted. I’ve also found the primark body shapewear soo amazing for hiding any lumps or bumps in clothing xx

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.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

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.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
