C section scar

Hi, I’ve had a c section and it has healed so nicely to the point where you can barely tell it’s there. Im worried if I have another will it possibly be way more noticeable and do they cut in the same spot? Should I be considering doing a vaginal birth? I loved my c section experience although it was an emergency c section last minute.

Mine was same spot. Took longer to open me up due to scar tissue. Still looks good. 6 weeks postpartum

i was told usually they cut the old scar tissue out to give a better healing for a second but maybe thats in uk or maybe someone was giving me false hope 🤣🙈

My second went through the same scar, just as neat and invisible a year on. It’s an inch longer but that’s because baby was in a different position and they neaten up the internal layers.

I had no uterine thinning, no scar tissue issues, no complications at all xx

Baby Boy arrived Easter weekend

My baby boy was born on 2nd April at 9lbs 6oz via elective cesarean. I was desperately hoping for a VBAC but the system broke me in the end, they kept bringing me in for scan after scan and talking about his size, my age, low papp-a etc. I'm the end i wasn't strong enough against the tidal wave of the NHS but looking back i wish I had been more confident in my own ability so for all of you holding out for a vaginal labour I hope you get what you want x

My son was born with a hernia and is due an operation this week, but he's thriving and happy 😊

Leaving baby in the car

Would you leave your baby locked in the car whilst you fill up with petrol and then go and pay in the shop for the petrol? Like is that allowed? I don’t have an option to to pay at the pump where I live you have to go inside, but I don’t want to get her out the car to then go in to pay to then bring her back out to put her back in the car

How many C-sections have you had?

I’ve had 2 C-sections and we still want more kids but we know the risks of having multiple and it’s scary?

transvaginal ultrasound bleeding

I had transvaginal ultrasound yesterday. I’m 6 weeks pregnant.

I’ve just wiped and have a small amount of blood 😔 I know the internet says this is normal but wanted to hear from woman that had the same and everything was ok?

Thanks
