Pain returning 5 weeks post c section

Hi at about 3/4 weeks I stopped taking all pain relief and the pain basically went for a few weeks and I kinda maybe over done it and started walking alot more
Now the pain has come back in my scar area and feels really tender again
Can see the scar has completely healed up so defo no infection.. but it’s just gone really tender again and sore ..is this normal and has anyone else experienced the same?

Had my baby girl at 27 weeks!

Whew definitely trust your gut ladies. I had my follow up appointment 24th, 28th came and all day I was up no nap binge watching the chi.

Peed at 11:50 and couldn’t stop peeing like I lied down, showered, been in 4 different night clothes, been threw 3 large pads and nothing Goulding stop my leaking fluid not even squeezing! I felt like I was peeing on myself and baby girl was definitely moving around I starting feeling come down towards my hoo hey. I was definitely in denial 🥲, but in my defense too too early.

1:49 exactly contraction came and never left my side… contractions is worst than the whole thing for me. with the help of my husband we kept tract on my contraction the whole time to the abundance came (the couldn’t sit or stay still to hurry to his car) timing they became 4-5 and less and less! Came in the hospital and to instantly 5 cm dilated, I couldn’t process nothing they were telling me asking us what to do because she might not make it.. she was also still kicking boxing me in there too.

Stortly moved to Labor and delivery 4:24am and knew everything was about to get real. I was get a steroid and magnesium for her brain and lung to mature and something to try and slow contractions. I asked them to check me again I felt pains move more down again more (all this while contraction was getting worst and worst by the way) and I the 7cm dilated they came in and told me I’m getting to have her soon, “let me know if you have to poop” I felt like I had to poop👀. Everyone was already in there with me so I did butterfly position and pushed and she came out small, mugging with her little cry🥹🥹 they lied her on my chest for a bit before taking her to her bed.

Born 6:50am, 2.7 pounds, 14.7 inches . She came out 2 pushes my tears, I had no epidural or gas. She slipped out🥹🩷🩷🩷🩷.. placenta came bout 4mins after. NOT a fan of the massages but hey no choice.

She doing good tho! Breathing tube out on the first day👏 alrighty don’t wanna leave her. Shes doing very very well. I’m nervous and excited, I’m nerve racked.

Feeling unsupported after C-section, even with a partner at home

Has anyone else had a C-section and felt like you’re doing everything on your own, even though your partner lives with you? I’m struggling to recover, take care of the baby, and keep up with everything, but my partner doesn’t really help. Would love to hear if others have been in this situation and how you managed.

Hair loss

Like I know postpartum hairless happens but like what is this?! Just had a shower and that was what was blocking my plug from just this shower 😭

Period

How soon did you get your period back after c section? I’m 5 weeks tomorrow and feeling like I’m getting period pain but not bleeding yet… I’m doing fully formula feeding

Is this risky?

Im 27 weeks pregnant and have a toddler. My husbands mum wanted to visit us in our house but has been confirmed today that she has shingles. The husband (my husbands dad) lives with her and they share the same bed but he has had chicken pox before. They were meant to be visiting us this weekend for my husbands birthday, is it safe for the husband (my husbands dad) alone to come visit us or can he still bring some risk to me. I’m pregnant and never had chicken pox before.

Hey lovelies. Tomorrow I have my 24 weeks appointment with the midwives. What did your midwives do during this appointment? Do you know if I am going to listen to the baby’s heartbeat? Thanks
