it doesn’t help that I have an overhang :( seems impossible to keep it dry properly . Do you have any tips?

Mines the same, I got the midwife to check it because I said I feel like it’s got a smell… and she was happy with the look of it that was over a week ago when my little girl was signed off. Now it’s red, tender and smells worse 🫣 I’ve been prescribed two lots of antibiotics to get on top of the infection, please keep an eye on it xx

Yeh I will think il give the doctors another call tomorrow x

Air the areas out and Stick a maternity pad to the inside of your pants- it’ll help keep the area dry. I had the same and so did my sister, seems to happen to chubbier girls/girls with a belly or overhang cause it’s in the crease but nothing to worry about xx

The cream seems to be doing something so that’s good, thank you every one :) xx

I have over hang and the midwife told me to use a rolled up muslin cloth under my over hang to keep it dry 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!
