C section

I’m 17 month pp and 12 weeks pregnant but IVE noticed I have a hard scar ? Like hard build up underneath? When I google it says it’s not normal but I’m not to sure I’ll be bringing up and my next apt but was wondering how everyone else’s scar is after healed? Thank you and any tips on being heavily pregnant with the scar would be appreciated x

Very normal unfortunately . I’m 8 days pp and already have a horrible “shelf” it’s called due to scar tissues. You can request thy cut out the old scar if you are having another c section and then use things like silicone strips or in my case I will be using steroid tape to flatten the scar from 2 weeks pp.

Could be keloid scarring, very normal, certain people are more suceptible to it than others, id still bring it up at your appointment though x

I went to a pelvic physio yesterday and they confirmed I have it too, excess collagen apparently. They have recommended the silicon strips and I’ve got scar massages booked in which should apparently help xx

Would this be a red flag for a future/potential employer?

Have been communicating about interviewing for an open position via email. The hiring manager first responds at 9pm. I respond the next morning with availability for an interview. They don't respond the next day, so the following day I follow up. They don't respond that day or the next (yesterday), but then just replied at 10pm setting an interview time. J was annoyed that the communication was so delayed. And I was even more annoyed that I kept being emailed late at night. Is this a sign I don't want to work for them?

Hospital Bag?

Hey everyone! When is the right time to pack your hospital bag and what on earth do I need? I see so many different websites and advice on social media that it all gets very overwhelming. Thank you so much for any help.

C-section

Hi ladies, how long does it take to recover from a c-section?

Anatomy scan

Got an anatomy scan today and a little late on the OBGYN stuff but getting caught up and my baby boy was trying to flip his feet over his head so that explains the jumps in my stomach and the pressure on my bladder!!! He also did a peace sign ✌️ sometimes during these visits it feel so surreal knowing a baby is growing inside of you!! 🤧

Things you wish you’d do before C-Section

I’m having my section on Sunday, and trying to write a bunch of ‘self-care’ type things I want to do before hand.
Now I’m not talking the practical things like setting up changing or feeding stations etc. I’m talking things for you like shaving your legs or dying your eyebrows 😂
I know from my last section that I’m not gunna feel my best so I want to do everything I can to feel good! I’ve got a fresh haircut already!
So what are some things you did / wish you did before your c section?
