Cant say my scar got imfected but basically i never washed my scar for over 2 weeks i was scared that the water would cause infecrion if i didnt dry it well enough. I just stuck to wiping aroumd the scar with cooled boiled water either on a muslin type material or a cotton bud and air dried and i was all gud

I’d had an infection after I was out of hospital (I was in there 2 weeks due to complications but scar was healing okay). After I was out, i started feeling sore and got this redness and the wound opened slightly where my skin started to burn. I called the GP who referred me to the community nurse. They prescribed hydrocortisone and within a week it cleared. The nurse said to use it if I have anymore flare ups. Since using that, I’ve not had any flare ups. I’ve been patting dry after showers and use a mini travel fan to dry before I moisturise lightly with coconut oil or cocoa butter moisturiser and thankfully I haven’t had any more issues.

Pregnant after 2 missed periods!!!

For context: My last cycle was Feb. 12th. I had a blood test on March 25th it was negative. On Mother’s Day I went to the ER for chest pain. The doctor comes in and says “ congratulations you’re pregnant!”. I didn’t believe her so she did an ultrasound. This is my 3rd and has never happened to me. I struggle with fertility, as I have PCOS now called PEMS.

Has this happened to anyone else? No cycle and ended up pregnant?

Body scans at airports while pregnant

I’m travelling tomorrow and I know I’ll have to go through a body scanner. But I don’t feel comfortable doing that specially in my very early pregnancy. When I was 8 months pregnant with my first I asked to opt out but they kinda refused and said it’s safe and that I will get more radiation from the plane.
What are your thoughts? Did you go through them or asked to opt out?

Who should be next?

I booked a nail appointment for 10am. Walked in at 9.50am behind another lady who didn't have an appointment. The 5 technicians were already busy. When one was finished, the lady without the appointment was sat before me. Surely if you have an appointment you should be next?
I ended up waiting until 10.25 before I was sat in a chair.
I know it's not first world problems, but who should be sat first? 😂
