Just back from a week in France and 30ish weeks pregnant with a ginormous baby boy.
CS 18 months ago and was diagnosed at 16 weeks with an infection in the scar (it'd always been bumpy, but then got bumpy and hot and sore).
Swift application of antibiotic cream for a few weeks later and it went down, pretty smooth, no pain & redness gone. Hurrah!
Baby head down and doing well. Booked home birth. Hurrah! Off for a quick week's holiday before baby number 2 shows up.
Scar a bit sore. Lift up ginormous bump to peer underneath. Can't see a bloody thing. Quick poke, something sticky - eek blood, eek goo. Bugger! Bugger! Bugger!
Get DH to look. Two large bumps have appeared in scar and one of them is leaking.
It healed up the next day. So thought it was okay to leave it till I got home. The following day, baby decided to have a flip to breech and got foot stuck on sore bit of scar and once again it bleed. Not much and it's only a surface wound - it clearly doesn't go down too deep and doesn't appear to be infected (it's not hot or red - but is sore).
Next day, healed up fine, no pain. DS then does another flip so his head is resting on the scar. Can anyone guess what happened next? Yep, soreness and a bit of blood.
So we came home and I tried to phone the midwives but they were on answerphone - four times - plus because I don't know my mobile phone number couldn't leave a message (was on the way back and couldn't have gone in anyway). (Not filled with confidence that they'll be around when I'm in labour at this rate either).
So now I'm home, and planning to go see the labour ward tomorrow to have a chat, but have no bloody clue what they are going to say. Anyone had this before? Is there any point in having an ultrasound of the scar to establish depth?
