I’m 16 days post c-section today. And I feel like I’ve got a little pooch going on. My upper belly has gone back to normal for the most part but this pooch part is just sooooo hard to see in the mirror both naked and clothed.

Is it just swelling still or is this the new norm of what my lower belly is going to look like? I do remember it being much more hanging looking (if that makes sense) I couldn’t even see my incision, now I can. But gosh, I’m feeling just down in the dumps. You know how it is freshly post partum, you feel hideous. Nothing fits right and you are hot and sweaty 😂😅😭😭😭

I am 9 days post c-section and noticed some yellow discharge from the incision site today. I called the nurse triage line to ask (for reference I am 2 1/2 hours from my OB) and they told me to go my nearest urgent care. I did of course and the urgent care doctor said it’s definitely warm to the touch and showing some yellow discharge. He gave me a shot of antibiotics to hold me over until the pharmacy opens back up tomorrow.

I’m just paranoid about it being infected, I am such a hypochondriac naturally. And I’m still getting over some of the trauma from my emergency c-section, so now I feel like I’m just going to be a nervous wreck. Did I do anything wrong to cause it to get infected? What can cause infections?

My husband and I are wanting to plan a trip within the next year/year in a half to Disneyland with our kiddos.

I would love any advice as far as planning and also where to get some good deals too!

My SIL has always used get away today for her Disney trips, but I’m curious if there are any other places with even better deals? Or if that’s the way to go?

Thank you!!

My six year old has a baseball game tomorrow, I’ve already missed the last two. And of course my mama heart just breaks because he was so upset I couldn’t make it. I’m 9 days post c-section tomorrow. I’ve hardly gone anywhere besides baby girls doctor appointments.

Would I be okay to go?? I’d be sitting in a chair the whole time!!

First c-section ever so I just want to make sure I’m doing everything right.

I am 4 days post emergency c-section. My first ever c-section so I’m really not super educated on them. I noticed today when changing my lovely adult diaper (lol) that there was a tiny spot of bright red blood right where the diaper must have been resting against the incision. I read that sometimes that’s normal after a C-section to have a little bit of bleeding???

It didn’t do that after until I just went to change my diaper yet again and noticed it again. Is it normal or should I maybe go into be seen? I’m such a paranoid human.

ETA: my incision site was glued. Not sure if that matters or not.
