C section healing

I had my baby boy on the 19th and needed an emergency c section. The sides of my incision busted open and i went to the ER. They didn't glue the incision back and only put pressure and gauze. Has anyone else had their incision bust open? Did doctors get it closed back?

Not a section scar but I had parts of my incision from my spinal surgery open when they took the staples out and they just told me to keep gauze on it until it healed.. that was 12 years ago.. however, if your not comfortable doing what they said you can always request that it be dealt with how you feel comfortable..

I’m so sorry you’re going through this!! Any updates on how you’re doing?

Thank you so much for that. I'm fine now the incision actually closed up thank God. I'm still nervous about it coming open again so I just keep the gauze and surgical dressing on it constantly lol along with my abdominal binder

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?
