C - section stitch not dissolved

Hi all,

So I am almost 6 weeks post c section. My third. I have noticed this evening that I had a bit of stitch remaining at the corner of my scar. After some googling I decided to try pulling it out, however it is quite long. I thought it would just pull right out but the thread just kept getting longer and I ended up wimping out. I’m seeing the health visitor tomorrow but it’s got me a bit freaked out.

Anyone ever had this happen to them? Do I keep pulling? 😂

Would you take your almost 4 yr old to a birthday party at an indoor play place during spring break, with a 10 week old baby?

I know it will be crowded as heck since it’s during spring break. I’ll be holding my 10 week old the whole time but nervous that we might get sick from being inside with all those people for so long

Did any mamas get nails done before c section?

Reading mixed things online saying that we can’t get them done bc the pulse reader? Just wanting to see if they actually really care x

Hormone drip

I’m being induced on Wednesday, with my first baby I was induced but I can’t remember if I had the hormone drip as I was so out of it from gas and air and pethidine.

Can I refuse it this time? As I’ve heard it makes contractions more painful, or can I say if I do need the hormone drip, I will need an epidural can the 2 coincide?

Breech or Head down

How can I tell if my baby is still breech? At 31 weeks she was completely breech and I’m unsure on how to tell if she’s flipped head down or not?

christening/naming ceremony

did anyone have a christening or naming ceremony for their little one? what would you recommend? my boy is 2 months old so i’m not thinking right this second but i want to do something for him. i was baptised as a baby although i don’t follow a religion as of current. it will be my family and friends attending as the father isn’t involved, but that still adds up to a pretty decent turn out. what was everyone’s experiences? tell me everything!

Baby movements

I’m 24 weeks today and I’m struggling to work out a pattern with my baby’s movements!
I can feel them move, more at night and not a lot when I’m working, but I’m not sure what the right amount is.
Is there a knack to it that I’m missing or am I still too early for them to be consistent?
I downloaded the kick counter app but I’m not very good at logging things 🙈
