Contractions
Need some advice please! Yesterday I had a loose tummy and nausea, was sick once. Today I have woken up to a stitch feeling on the sides of my bump and the top. I’m having irregular contractions. Just had one 90sec one that made me cry. I have laid down to rest but still getting them.. could this be prodromal or real?

Call PAU so they can check you
Download the Freya app for free and time them. It will tell you when you’re in established labour….you will also know as you won’t be able to time them anymore.
Give your midwife a call and let her know. Good luck xx

Scar care and massages
Hi everyone, I’m 6 weeks post emergency c-section and as you can imagine, the 6 weeks check up with the GP was rather useless.
I’m looking at ways to best look after my scar to minimise it, the shelf and re gain normal sensation on and around the scar.
I’ve heard of massages, scar tape, silicone gel … What is it that you do for your scar? Also can I now put body lotion on it? The skin around the area is very dry and flaky as I’ve been avoiding it a lot.
In terms of scar tape, I have time at home but I’m worried it’ll be too sticky and hard/painful to remove, also I have hairs lol on the actual scar since I didn’t plan for it and wasn’t shaved there when it happens and around the scar so I’m worried it’ll pull on my hairs each time I have to remove it. It did with the dressing they put on, it wasn’t nice to remove after 5 days …
Anyway, just your scar care routine and tips would be useful please ☺️

Low lying placenta at 20 week scan
I had my 20 week scan today and been told I have a low lying placenta. They want to rescan at 28 weeks to see if it has moved as my uterus gets bigger. If not they want to do an MRI to decide next steps. Has anyone else had this before and what was the outcome?

Timing of scheduled C section
People that have a scheduled C section can I just ask when it is booked in in relation to your due date? My baby is breech, I went in yesterday for an ECV but they were unable to turn her. They have now booked me in for a C section, which I am gutted about but obviously need to do what's safest for baby. I know I will be stressing about it right up until the date and they have only booked it in 3 days before my due date. So now I am also stressing that I might spontaneously go into labour before then and have to rush in for an emergency C section.
