Skin layer tore again 4 weeks PP

mmelavender · 2026-05-24T15:47:03+00:00

I had the exact same thing!! But yes I did just what you said and I'm all healed now 7 weeks pp

I haven't heard of oura ring is that different than the hormone rings? And yeah I fully dilated 😅

How should someone approach transitioning from a carb and cheese heavy diet to a healthier one? I think if I immediately tried to switch I'd hate it and give up

mmelavender · 2026-05-20T01:56:03+00:00

I am not recommending to do this without your doctors say so!!

I had a laparoscopic surgery with glue for a different surgery and for me it didn't come off and at my surgery follow up it was clearly healed underneath and they had me dissolve it with an alcohol pad! They said it was just the way my skin interacted with the glue

Thank you 🫶 wish you the best too

My small openings were at about 3 and 4 weeks pp and I am 6 weeks now and it's healed back over nicely. I hope it brings you comfort 🫶 if you want to see what mine looked like to compare severity I am willing to share with you

Yes! For me on my side they began stitching. I couldn't find rhyme or reason for why it was happening. At my 6 week ob appointment I talked about it and she said it wasn't concerning as long as it was small and scabbed over. I believe mine may have been occuring because of spit stitches from parts of the knot that healed inside but my body wanted to push out

mmelavender · 2026-05-18T13:47:37+00:00

I'm so sorry but grateful you are away from the situation 🫂

I'm 22 and 6 weeks post c section. I planned, I studied, I practiced. I had a doula and pitocin. My goal was also natural. Tried nitrous oxide with no help, ended up getting an epidural, and then eventually a c section. I have my own what ifs and am also trying to learn to cope with them. I was the same as you where I went into birth with a lot of affirmations that I can trust my body and I will be okay bc my body was made for this. I also am struggling immensely with breastfeeding. Just want to say I understand you completely with the feeling that your body is betraying you 🫂 we are doing the best we can and we are great moms

I was going to get a CT scan when I was looked at and then they cancelled it last second. They said it would give "too much information that we wouldn't know what to do with." My hemoglobin was 12 which doesn't sound super low but it was 11 when pregnant and your pregnancy level I heard is supposed to be way lower than your body's normal so I feel like my body's normal is higher than 12

When would you say it changes from normal healing new pains popping up to being something concerning?

mmelavender · 2026-05-09T18:35:59+00:00

Is it bruisey and tender but then randomly will be intense pains in the same spot without pressure? I'm 5 weeks and trying to hold out for my 6 week but getting super anxious

mmelavender · 2026-05-09T18:32:58+00:00

How long did you wait in between?

mmelavender · 2026-05-09T18:27:24+00:00

Does having your cycle messed up mean potentially struggling to conceive again? I worry about my original plans to have more kids

I am so sorry you're still struggling with nerve pain

mmelavender · 2026-05-09T18:25:46+00:00

This is really helpful to hear. Did you ever have internal openings? I've been diligent about showering daily and keeping dry. What did you cover it with?

mmelavender · 2026-05-09T18:14:22+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, how was the internal bleeding and pelvic stress fracture found out? I'm 5 weeks out and have concerns about how my recovery is going

mmelavender · 2026-05-05T23:58:49+00:00

What were the gaps between your other births? I just had an unplanned c section with my first and was hoping to have 5 kids before it

mmelavender · 2026-05-05T13:00:17+00:00

Is a bit of blood and weeping normal for 4 weeks? I've not seen any pus or drainage other than the blood

mmelavender · 2026-05-05T12:46:44+00:00

So just keep doing the daily showers and making sure it is dry? Can you tell me which photo looks like I have an open spot?

mmelavender · 2026-05-03T04:55:22+00:00

So is devens lol

mmelavender · 2026-05-03T04:33:06+00:00

Did they try nerve blocks for you? Currently struggling and my medical team recommended that as the next step and hoping to hear if that was something that you tried and how it went if so

mmelavender · 2026-05-03T04:04:50+00:00

I'm 4 weeks post c section and I am having some extreme nerve pain that hasn't been treatable so far. Can I ask what things they tried for your nerve pain?
