Emergency c section

How long after did you apply the silicone scar strips over the c section? I’m 3 weeks PP now and I’m wondering if there is anything else I can do to help it?

Is this the ones to help it 'fade' or like a plaster?

I’d wait until your 6 week check to ensure everything has healed as it should

I didn't put anything on mine until 12 weeks because I was terrified of infection after a friend got an infection. Massage and silicone have helped hugely since.

I’m 4 weeks pp, and wondering the same.

You have to wait 6/8weeks at least

I never used these and you'd barely notice my scar was there!

It is too early to use these….

Seeking reassurance - pregnant after c-section

Hello,
I think i'm pregnant. I have missed a period and a faint line on pregnancy test. I'm going to take another test and get an early scan etc to be sure.

The issue is that I am 7months post c-section. This was not planned and I feel so bad. If i am pregnant, i dont want to lose this baby and i'm so terrified of the risks involved with getting pregnant so soon after c-section.

Is there anyone who can share a positive story where they got pregnant after c-section and all was ok? I'm so scared. 😢

Do you care if your baby names are trendy amd not unique?

I have always loved nature based names, but now I'm finally about to become a mum, my chosen names are becoming so popular!

Here are my top names, but we are also considering them for first and middle names.

How is everyone?

How is everyone doing now we're getting to the final weeks or days for some?

For me the heartburn and indigestion is unbearable. But I think the part I find worse is the restless legs which have cranked up 10 notches! I'm exhausted but I just can't sleep for it. Anyone else?

I've also had a couple of episodes of sickness and diarrhoea in the last two weeks, never had that with my first two.

Just feeling very ready to have baby rather than bump.

How is everyone else doing?

Help

I need to know if this is normal or something to worry about - I had a normal birth yesterday morning and keep finding myself wetting myself without being able to stop… like I’ve lost control of my bladder. Everything’s very sensitive down there, is this a little normal?

Bleeding postpartum

6 days pp now and still bleeding quite heavily. I had an elective C-section on Monday. I'm not sure if it's because it's my second time.. last time I only bled for a couple of days. When did your bleeding stop?
