Following!

Depends diapers the hospital mesh. Underwear were not my favorite
Boppy for nursing
I brought crocs, but my feet were so swollen that I could barely wear them so something that very swollen feet can fit in

I’d recommend:
wireless earphones
Extra long phone charger
Flip flops
Comfortable dressing gown
Lots of food and snacks
Peppermint tea (chilled for trapped wind)
Lucozade sport
Moisturiser
Lip balm
Your favourite pillow (not that you’ll sleep)
Make sure you can reach everything from your bed without having to move!
Nappies and wipes on your bed to change baby in the night
Netflix or something in your phone to keep you entertained
Painkillers!

A fan (wards are hot and the theatre drugs made me sweat as they wore off) and lip balm (again, heat and drugs dried my lips out)

Pillows, snacks, slippers

My own decent toilet paper.

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
