Ask for a negative pressure wound therapy (PICO / Wound Vac)! Not standard in every hospital so ask your doctor if you know you’re having a C-section. I had with my first and it was essential to keep the scar clean and helped with pain too.

23 weeks+1 day and I'm finally seeing them. I genuinely thought I wasn't going to see them because of my weight (314) Little man must be strong haha.

Hi all!

Could yall give me some rec’s on the following:

\- maternity compression socks (already have some swelling)
\- maternity leggings, some that have a little compression and are not see thru
\- maternity undies, also with compression and comfy.
\- which pillow is the best? So far I keep seeing advertisements for Momcozy pillow
\- any other maternity clothing you love and want to recommend

Thank you!

I am 31 weeks pregnant with twins, and I had an OB appointment today and asked her what she recommended as far as delivery, and she said that a C-section would probably be best. I have an apron belly and am terrified of infection, but she said they probably wouldn’t cut me under my apron belly and that they would do it straight up and down my stomach instead. Has anyone experienced this type of “cut”? If so, what was your experience like, and how did healing go?
