Underwear for C-section pouch

Hi ladies! I had my second C-section 9 months ago and I am left with some overhang above the scar. I wondered if anyone had found any underwear that provided some firm support in that area so I can feel a bit more comfortable wearing dresses and jeans again! At the moment I wear alot of leggings and long tops to hide it! Thanks!

Thanks ladies! I think my problem is that my scar is quite low down, so the normal pants with a firm support waistband don't really work for me, I need the support lower down!

Primark have some things (and briefs I think) that are high waisted and the elastic band around the top is great for holding in

did you find anything? I've found some pants for pouch compression (mine is low like you've said yours is) but they are £54.99 a pair xx

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
