Swelling/numbness

Hey yall. I had a C-section 4 days ago. Part of of the outter part of my vaj is numb and swollen. But like only a part of it is(what I highlighted in blue.) is that normal?!they had been checking my area and it’s been like that the entire time so I assume that’s okay? I just hate to bother the drs since I’m discharged now if that’s completely normal. This is my first c section.

I had a similar area swell after mine! It went away after a few weeks! As long as it’s not painful and you see it go down, I think it’s normal! But obviously if it’s bothering you and doesn’t get worse, call!

This exact thing happened to me after my c-section. A few nurses told me it was just swelling. But don’t worry it goes away

2nd section

My first I had a planned section it was great. My 2nd planned section is next week.

Question - did anyone go earlier 2nd time round? Was it a scary experience?

I’m worried go early. I’ve been told I would still get my section but treated as emergency section but I’m just really worried and anxious about that happening.

Would you go to the doctor?

I'm 26 weeks pregnant. Last Thursday, whilst lifting up my daughter, I felt a ping in the middle of my stomach. It didn't really hurt, but it was noticeable. Ever since then, when I lift even light things, or when I walk/stand up I feel a light pain in the area. It is also very sensitive. It's not really overly painful, it really is just a slight niggle. I didn't have anything similar with my first pregnancy. Should I go to the doctor?

7 week scan

Hi,
Has anybody had a 7 week scan for reassurance and did you hear a heart beat / would you recommend it? I don’t feel like I can wait another 3 weeks until my first midwife appointment!

VBAC

Has anyone had a successful VBAC after getting pregnant in under a year? I found out I was pregnant 7 months pp by the time I’m ready to give birth il be around a year and 2-3 months postpartum. Apparently they don’t really want to induce if you’ve previously had a c section. Which puts me in a spot of if labour doesn’t progress would I just have to have one instead of being induced?
I’ve also been told by my partners mum that “they won’t give her an option it will be 36 weeks and she will be cut open” as if 😂, I’m sure they wouldn’t do that, it would have to be an elective and I’m positive it’s 37 weeks onwards.
