Powder for C section incision

Hi!
I’m 3 weeks pp tomorrow and was prescribed this powder to help keep my incision dry. I’m not able to see my incision because of my belly, how can I apply this powder without hurting myself or making a mess?

Put a towel down on your bed, lie down on it, and apply as needed.
Alternately, I would stand in the shower to do it.
Just pat it on gently, your won't hurt yourself.
Good luck and safe healing!

Maybe a April baby not a May one

So I'm not due till May 10th but with how my body has been feeling the last couple days I reckon I'll definitely not make it to my due date or even to May before I have my baby 😅 the intense pressure I've had has been insane I can't walk more then 5 mins without being in pain, slowly started loosing my mucus plug yesterday and then today I feel like my body is having a clear out 😬 i genuinely feel like my body is preparing 😅(I hope so)
I have a growth scan next week but my consultant said on my last appointment (2 weeks ago) that I might not make it to my next scan 😅 like sorry hun I think you know something I don't 😂

Growth scan scaring me thinking I’m gonna have a massive baby 👶🏼

So I had a growth scan at 27 weeks and baby was plotting on 50th centile. Had another growth scan today at 32 weeks and they’ve said he weighs around 4lb 10 😳 they haven’t reported and plotted on my chart yet but that sounds like a lot when I still have 8 weeks left 🙈🤣

Baby weight

Has anyone had a growth scan and been told a predicted weight and it’s actually been accurate? Interested to know what all your babies were predicted and what they actually weighed😊

31 weeks appt - bump measurement

Hi! Just had my 31 week appt and my bump is measuring above the 97th percentile. Has anyone had this and then had a baby of average size? We have a growth scan next week.

Engaged 2/5

I had midwife appointment & they said babies head is engaged and about 2/5.

I dont remember them doing this with my 1st. I did ask what it meant, they said it meant baby is getting ready/in position.

My question is, anyone else been told this, if so how far gone were you & have you had your baby yet?

I looked online & saw that subsequent pregnancies can mean baby will come in a few days time altho this isnt a confirmed sign of info used to predict labour is near etc.

Just curious if anyone else is in this position, im 38+4 very uncomfortable & praying i dont end up overdue, I was 40+5 with my 1st 😬

Merrill?

What is the current consensus on Merrill?

I’ve never given it much consideration because the Meryl Streep and Merrill Lynch associations seem so strong, but for some reason tonight it’s caught my attention. I’m kind of getting a mix of grandpa and outdoorsy vibes from it (probably due to the Merrell outdoors shoes brand), but I can’t decide how I feel about it.

Is it difficult to say? I’ve seen some old posts saying it’s a bit like Rory in that some people struggle to pronounce it.

Does it strike you as masculine, feminine, or neutral?

Are there too many famous celebrities and brands associated with it to use for a child?

Does it sound/feel remotely appealing at all or is unpleasant?

What sort of little boy/man would you picture wearing the name Merrill?

Do you think it would fit in well with brothers Warren and Clyde?

Any middle suggestions to pair with a two-syllable last name?

No need to answer all twenty of my questions 😂, any amount of input is appreciated.
