Stitch out!

It’s a week since giving birth and today i got my stitch removed. Was really quick, snip snip pull and it was done. Ultrasound showed that my uterus is clear and shrinking well.

So I asked doc about this constant pain on the right side of my incision and he said it could just be residual contractions and should get lesser and lesser. I sure hope so cause it is starting to put a damper on my sunny disposition.

Anyway doc didn’t put the waterproof plaster anymore over the stitch and it’s freaking me out a little that it is now so exposed. I will try not to let it bother me 😣 My guts will not fall out, my guts will not fall out 🙏

1 week post-partum. If I look suspiciously slim don’t be tricked, it’s why I dared post this picture. I have nothing to wear other than this body-hugging airism top. I couldn’t bear to wear bra because the boobs are udderly hurting now 😭

Lily’s first trip out since coming home and she’s great.

Tamago mentai don for lunch. Not much mentaiko but the egg was really soft and delicious so I ate it all with a gusto. It’s at Harumi23, a Japanese restaurant near my hospital.

Wearing her brother’s Tuna Melts My Heart onesie. Liam could only fit in it when he was 4 months old lol

Confinement dinner situation. So much food cause didn’t have it for lunch.

  2. The scar will hurt a while more. I also had a tingling sensation on my tummy from all the severed nerve endings trying to re-attach. But it should all go back to normal in 6 months.

      1. I was shocked too… I had two Caesareans and I never really could feel my lower abdomen till a while later, which is kinda difficult to exercise the muscles when you can’t feel them. But don’t panic! And don’t feel too badly. It was one of the first things I told my best friend when she had her Caesarean so she was mentally prepared and didn’t feel too badly after.

  3. I remember being freaked out over “how exposed” it looks without the plaster even the second time around! It’s amazing how fast the body heals. My gynae told me she could give m some cream to apply to make me feel better. Cream can help you feel like guts won’t fall out. 😅😅🤪

  6. She’s a real cutie! Congrats!!! My wife was also scared her guts may come spilling out, but it won’t. 5 months and then some down the road, she still complains of some “phantom” pains at her lower region every now and then. But after a quick check by yours truly, (Dr. Quack in da house yo) and a reassuring word from me, her pains all but disappear.
