C-section & apron belly
Any fellow Mumma’s with a slight apron belly and a csection scar? Im 12 weeks pp and I’m really struggling with irritation and pain especially when the weather is warmer. By the end of the day it’s so sore. I look after the area keeping it clean and dry it just feels like a rubbing sensation which is really irritating and hurting the area throughout the day. Any tips to avoid this or stop this? Anything I can use or do?

When my c section incision was still newer I would put a thin panty liner in between the scar and my apron tummy to protect it and keep it dry. Now that I’m over a year post c section I put a little bit of baby powder in the fold to keep it dry and reduce moisture from the day. Especially in SE Texas in the summer.
I use Silverlene medicated foot powder. It is a game changer. Or any medicated foot power really x
Scar mobilization is huge! It helps a lot. In the meantime you can put a pad on your underwear where the scar hits. It’ll help keep it dry
When I get irritation I put on my baby’s barrier cream; A+D.
The hospital gave me these cloth sheets to use, they worked great to help with moisture and irritation but I also used a thing panty liner too. Im almost 6 weeks pp so once im cleared next week ill use powder when needed
wear silicon scar patches. I use the Frida brand.

2nd baby, huge bump
Is anyone else on their 2nd baby and just absolutely huge. This was me last Wednesday at 31 weeks pregnant! Now 32 weeks. Can't believe there's another 2 months to go. It doesn't feel possible to grow anymore?!

Struggling in new job! Haven’t announced yet
I was previously a TA and found out in the summer holidays I was pregnant after accepting a new job in September in a nursery.
It’s only my second day and I’m struggling so much! I’m waiting to tell them after my 12 week scan in another week’s time but I’m so exhausted. I can’t do any nappies or many jobs until my 3 month probation is up so I’m just sat with the children not doing much feeling so sick! Has anyone been in a similar position before?
