C-section recovery

For those that had a C-section 5+ weeks ago, how is your wound healing? My one side looks red and a little weepy at the moment. I originally thought that this was common as I'd been told it's down to where they seal it all up on one side, but I'm starting to now think it should be a lot better by this stage (I'm 6wks 3 days pp).

Anybody else?!

So I recently just moved back into my dads house bc my husband wants a divorce and I just found my ultrasounds from 20w 5d and I was wondering if anyone else is genuinely missing there baby being in there belly instead of not and if you guys also hate how fast they are growing up.

What are the least helpful things you’ve been told in pregnancy?

I can start
1) “you still have 2 months to go? But you’re massive already!”
2) “baby due September? Better push them earlier so you avoid extra year of childcare cost”
3) (to my partner upon announcing the news): “you better work more and harder get a promotion now”.

I can go on forever, thought the “you sure it’s not twins” comments were an urban legend but people are THAT stupid

Leak from upstairs flat.

Has anyone experienced a leak from above that wasn't so obvious? But was definitely there.. trickling through the walls and causing stains? Wet and musty smell? I have evidence of a leak somewhere coming from above. But the neighbours are denying it. What can I do ???

Struggling FTM

Spent yesterday crying feeling like I’ve lost myself. Exhausted and feel like I’m not doing the best I can, questioning whether I’m a good mum, have managed to break the zip on my next to me in the night shuffling back in bed put my hand on it and it wasn’t fully down and it’s now bust so another thing I’ve messed up. Spent the last 3 and a half hours googling trying to fix it, have ordered replacement fabric from the Snuz website but I still can’t settle my brain and I’m going to have had no sleep now to do it all again. Feeling so lost, useless and like I’m completely crumbling

Baby soft spot

How are your babies soft spots? I feel my LO’s is sometimes quite obvious and feels a bit sunken so it makes me a bit worried because it’s a sign of dehydration. He’s 11 weeks. You can’t always ‘see’ it, but can definitely feel it. He’s got plenty of wet nappies. How obvious is your babies?
