Can you use witch hazel on C-section stitches to heal faster?

No idea! Best to ask the midwife that one I suspect. They tend not to want you to put anything much on the scar in the first few days though to minimise infection, so perhaps not.

But its not a bad thing to have in the medicine cabinet anyway for minor cuts and aches.

Me too :rotfl:Sadly the Bellyfrog's head was measuring at 40+3 at the hospital yesterday while the rest of her is around 38/39 weeks. So my tiny little miscreant is going to be a lollipop stick at first ... I hope her hats are big enough

Nicki, I'm not sure why you keep mentioning my name as though I'm the only person who's ever posted a list (and I continued to do so because so many people said it was motivational to them). Usually if I've something to say beyond a simple I'm sorry that happened to you I send it by PM - I have a fair amount of information and experience (professional and personal) that I don't feel comfortable sharing in public but have less of a problem doing so one on one. It didn't occur to me that not making a public statement to that effect made it seem that I didn't care. I've never meant to derail the thread from where it was going, and I'm sorry you felt ignored.

Nope - it was your post effectively saying "Get over it, all that matters is a healthy baby" in response to my post which described a harrowing birth resulting in my very disabled baby, and which followed on from several days worth of your petty sniping at me for disagreeing with a poster who had denigrated a woman for accepting pain relief in labour, that demonstrated to me quite unequivocally that you didn't care. I must have missed that supportive PM then :rolleyes:

Tbh - I know that there are a number of posters here who are supportive and knowledgeable about some of the issues I've faced and am facing, and I now try and post only about things I need support with when their lights are on and yours is off, so unpleasant were you to me.

Given that she's on this thread she must have some idea about the other place...

Thank you lou, that's really sweet of you (although I am forced to at you because I am hormonal and all misty eyed now - someone in here must be chopping onions). I know I post a lot and sometimes it's [STRIKE]fairly[/STRIKE] extremely random, but I really like most of the people I'm posting [STRIKE]to[/STRIKE] at on this thread and it makes me smile to be part of such a lovely community of people.

Kate Garraways baby, I remember reading that her midwife said she thought she was having a big baby, he was only 7lb 12oz and she was huge!

Our baby's head circumference was on the 95th centile at the 20 week scan- all other measurements were between 50th-75th. I try not to think about it!
