I unfortunately had to have my stitches ripped out of me because they got stuck and were in there a few days longer after a couple of midwives, junior doctor and registrar doctor attempted and failed, an experienced midwife eventually managed it but was so painful! 😬 Was given some honey stuff at the hospital which was really good but my right side was a lot more painful for a while, even now it was 2 years ago and sometimes still gets irritated here and there sudocrem really helps clear it up each time

I would get that checked out with your OBGYN. For me it was just scar tissue that healed over and hardened. My OB suggested to massage it every night.

Im 6 weeks pp and from day one my right side hurt more, the midwives and doctors told me thats the side my stitches were tied off (internal and external) so there is extra tension there naturally due to the knot.

Check with your GP though if you're worried, no harm in checking x

I have a big phobia of spiders so I don’t want my windows open through the night what else can I do? I’ve opened the landing window now as last resort but I’ll shut it before bed

Baby 3 at 45?

I have just found out I’m pregnant. Not planned. Baby number one was a miracle at 40 and we were one and done. Then my dad died and the thought of going through it as an only child broke me so we tried and had a 2nd little boy at 43. We are blessed with our family and I’m more than happy with my lot. I have found out I am pregnant again at 45 and selfishly don’t want my life to change, not spoken to anyone yet but have completed my self referral to the midwife. Is 45 too old?

Fan

Are we able to oscillate a fan across a 2 year old? Just so the fan will be on her for 5-10 secs then move across the room? Or should it be completely out of her range?

Anyone else feeling overwhelmed with postpartum care

I had a C section previously and aiming for a VBAC. I got to 8cm so have been advised that all being well it should go smoothly. However, i am overwhelmed with the amount of postpartum care information, particularly found on tiktok..
I have brought always big pants with the pad as this seems would be used in either C section or vaginal however, there seems to be a million other products and i don't want to fork out loads of money to end up not using it. I personally don't want to use frida mom as I think its overpriced and over hyped but seriously.. what do I need and is there any recommendations people can offer that arent ridiculously priced or have 10 million steps before you even pull your pants up! And also, do i need all this stuff? What did people use before consumerism lol ???
