8 week pp c section still opening??

8 weeks pp, I get my scar seen once a week since 3 weeks pp due to an infection, had 3 lots of antibiotics, it’s closed then opened in multiple places, then closed and opened again. It was closed Sunday and yesterday had slight bleeding from one part and a small hole again.
I’m so over it now and deflated about I feel like it’s never going to heal, any one else had this? Please tell me there’s light at the end of the tunnel, I’m so scared they will want to restitch it even though drs said that’s rare it’s my worst nightmare!

The bit of my scar that reopened was the bit that ended up healing the neatest and most invisibly and I’ve heard that from a few people. If that’s any comfort. It’s really scary though until it’s healed. All you can do is keep it dry and aired and take the antibiotics and don’t strain too much (hopefully you have help around you otherwise this is hard!)

I had this with my first and at my 6 week appointment got told to smother in sudocrem by GP and it did solve itself

Can anyone give me advice or tell me why?

Midwife rang me yesterday to book the first appointment.
I’m 4 month post partum so only seen her a few month ago. She sounded really pissed with me, asked multiple times if I wanted to carry on with the pregnancy. I’m 9 weeks on Monday.
This is my third baby.
Look I get why she’d sound pissed I’m aware your meant to wait and I’m aware of the risks. But this is her job and I felt really judged on the phone. ( This is not my question)

She said she’d book me in for Wednesday then I’ll get a scan a few days after at the most a week. I will not be 12 weeks then, Is it because this pregnancy is a high risk hence the early scan?

Advice

I’m 15 weeks pregnant, first time mum, I’ve had so many issues and scares this pregnancy so feel like every chance, twinge, pain or ache is just worrying.

I went to my gp yesterday as I’ve had bad backache and belly ache/ belly twinges the last week, I thought it could be a uti as I know they’re common in pregnancy but they said it was all clear, they gave me a weeks worth of antibiotics (amoxicillin) just incase but I woke up this morning and my back feels like I’m heavy on my period, I have pcos so my period pains where quite rough😩


Is this a normal feeling or should I be concerned?

Head down movements

Anyone that’s baby is head down, where do you feel your movements?
My movements are all felt pretty much on my left side, maybe like an inch above my belly button but on my left. Hiccups are felt there too. Some times can feel like squirming like really low down. Can’t tell if she’s still breech or not! I’ve got a presentation scan Monday to find out but still interested to find out where everyone’s movements are if head down, or even breech!

Hey!
I've just had my glucose test back and I've got Gestational Diabetes 😩 has anyone else been diagnosed/had it before?
I'm really struggling with coming to terms with it and anxious about how I'll manage it/what it'll mean for the rest of my pregnancy x
