Elective C-section
I’m thinking about having an elective C-section. This is my first baby. I do have an apron tummy so would a C-section be a good idea as I’m worried about my skin rubbing on the incision and scar. I don’t want it to get irritated or anything.
Any C-section stories welcome 💜

@Sarah my belly rubs the top of my pubic hair so I’m just worried about irritation. I’m hoping to have an elective. Due Feb 7th but doctors said I could have him mid January. Thank you for responding 💜
From a mum with a tum, who’s had 2 c-sections. You’d just have to make sure you let the air get to it regularly while it heals so it has a chance to dry and not get too moist. You can get c section recovery patches to go over the incision if it’s sensitive right after surgery.

Totally depends on your surgeon tbh. My incision was in my pubic hair, so low you could barely see it. Nowhere near my stomach muscles so I didn’t have any rubbing post surgery. I had one with my first baby and I loved the experience so much that I’m already booked in for another in December. Happy to answer any questions xx
