Reopen?

Hey I had a c-section and I was wondering if they are going to use the same incision spot for my next one? It’s pretty low (on my pelvic bone) I’ve seen a lot of women have the surgery on their lower stomach but mine is like way lower than that. I’d like them to use the same spot and any tips on how to make the scar not get hard after this one?

Mine was in the same place, everyone I know has had the same

Regarding the keloid, if you develop any hard keloid they cut it out in surgery the next time to keep the wound healing super neat and lower complications.

They will cut it open from the same place. I have had two c-sections and both cut in the same area.

Same cut if they can. They will cut any keloid scarring out. To avoid it next time look at scar massage to help.

I have now had 2 c-sections and a myomectomy and they cut the same exact spot. My second c-section took longer because they had to get through the scar tissue. You can use scar tape 4-6 weeks post op depending on what your OB says to help with any keloid. But i usually have keloids from past surgeries have not had any on my C-section scar.

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
