When did you first bath after a c-section? Did you encounter any issues?
Thank you

After 6 weeks, when I was cleared. The issue isn't the outside incision, it's the inside wound left by the placenta.

I’m sorry what do you mean when you say bath yourself or the baby because I’m lost….

Does this scan look normal?

8 weeks today. Private scan. Healthy heartbeat and sonographer noted no concerns. I’ve worried myself that the babies head isn’t forming properly😩

What to pack for postpartum & the hospital?

Hey girls, new mum to be here 😅! Idk what else to pack for hospital or what else i’d need for hospital? I’m trying to be minimalistic and just bring what I actually need! I don’t live far from the hospital.
If anyone has done this before please let me know what you think and fill me in with your must have products 🩷🤗

Big baby?

Hi, has anyone had a similar experience to me?

I’ve been told my baby is on the bigger side. They were not worried about all measurements, but at 39 weeks his abdominal circumference (belly) is measuring on the 97th centile. They said they would recommend either induction or a C-section while his growth isn’t too excessive. His estimated overall growth is on the 86.6th centile, so he’s bigger than average but not considered extremely large he is 3,775g which was 38+5

I’m exactly 39 weeks tomorrow and will be seeing a consultant to discuss it. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What did you decide to do, and how big was your baby (centile and birth weight)? Was it just the baby’s belly measuring large, or was the whole baby measuring big?

Also, does anyone know why only his belly would be measuring large while the rest of him isn’t?

Bloody show

No pictures don’t worry! I’m 39 weeks today and had a sweep this morning and went really well, 3cm dilated! I believe I just had my bloody show. Anyone got experience of having their bloody show then going into labour shortly after? Or did it take a couple of days? X
