C section massage

I am almost 8 weeks pp after having a surprise c section. I’ve been cleared to return to any and all activities for a few weeks and have seen a lot about c section massage to reduce the appearance of the shelf (which seems to be the result of internal stitches and a tiny bit of extra fat/skin left over from pregnancy) but no one has given much guidance. When can I start massaging the scar and how do I determine how much pressure/movement is appropriate? Just by how it feels or should I wait longer before starting? Thanks in advance!

Is it morally wrong to insist on partner following up on prediabetes, if he doesn't want to?

Marked sensitive for health problems!

My partner has always said that he'd rather not know if he has a disease so he can "die happy" 🙈
Anyway, 6 months ago he found he has prediabetes. In the UK, you should get a follow-up every few months, particularly after the first few changes are made.
GP didn't get in touch for the follow-up; I talked to him about it several times and he said he won't be getting in touch to request it. Reasoning is the same, he "doesn't see the point" and "am sure it's fine".
Personally, knowing him, I understand he's scared, and perhaps unwilling to deal with it.
Insisting for him to get a follow up is GUARANTEED to not work.
Talking to him about how a chronic disease would affect his whole family has not worked.
Gently suggesting it has not worked.

My question is: am I interfering with his will by wanting him to follow up on his prediabetes check up, if he explicitly said he doesn't want to?
And if you don't think I am morally forcing him, what is a constructive way you'd encourage him?

What was your first pregnancy symptoms

Im interested in hearing how everyone twiged!!!

Elective C-Section

So I’ve been advised to think about a c-section, and need all the information I can get right now. I am really nervous but I think it’ll be the safest option for me. If anyone has had this before please let me know.

Vbac

Pleaseeee ladies can I have some advice from anyone who’s tried a vbac if it’s something you would recommend or do you wish you had another c section? I’m terrified of giving birth vaginally but I really don’t want the c section recovery again with a toddler
