C section Scar (second time around)

I saw another post about scars the second time around and how they heal. I am curious if anyone had a bad scar the first time around then had it "revised" the second time and kind of cleaned up? With my first section I got an infection at the incision site and ended up getting a pretty big keloid (which I've never gotten on any other scar). I am hoping that this can be fixed during the second section. I am aware that I there is a chance that I could get another keloid. But has anyone had any success with this?

Hiiii! I’m currently 16 days post c section number 2 and had a similar first time experience to you, just no infection. My scar healed so badly and I had a huge keloid. I have had a different consultant and medical team this time, and it seems there was a lot that wasn’t done in my recovery last time (I wasn’t stood up post op until 18+ hours etc).
Anyway, my scar is already looking so much nicer than my first ever did. They cut it the keloid this time and just created a brand new incision.
So yeah, it’s defo possible to get it revised. But I can’t say for definite that the keloid is gone at this long. I do have high hopes though!!

Has anyone one really bad braxon hicks and period like cramps lately ?

I feel like she might come early as I was getting them maybe once a week now most days

Sick

Hey, I’m 25 weeks tomorrow. At 4am I woke up and my stomach was gurgling loudly. I went to the bathroom and it was complete water coming out. I went back to bed and an hour and a half later was back in the bathroom. I attempted to go to work (8:45 start). By 9:30 I had gone to the bathroom twice and at 10 I went and ended up throwing up my breakfast (into a garbage can) as I was on the toilet. I went home at 12 and forced myself to eat a few Wheat Thins and sip some water. I fell asleep till 4 and then was back in the bathroom. I’ve been in and out of sleep since. I’m worried about dehydration and the lack of me being able to eat for my baby. What should I do?

Scar

Anyone else touch Their c section scar and get sad? 😣 feeling the numbness, knowing I’m touching it but not really feeling it 😣

Is this normal?

Anytime i eat anything no matter what it is, or how little I eat of it, I immediately get tired, nauseous, sometimes dizzy and like my energy is drained. I usually have to get all my cleaning / house chores done before like 3pm so that I can eat something but not be stuck with a messy house. I'm gonna talk to a doctor i just need to make an appointment but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced these symptoms?

so embarrassed lol

Lordy lord 3 are so intense! My
Poor baby has been so warm and restless, clingy (when she isn’t usually at all) and isn’t moving around much (when she’s been walking for ages and loves to run around). It will get better with Calpol and kisses but wow, anyone else’s bub suffering ? X
