Opening? and infection

Opening? and infection

Sorry if this all over the place, I’m new to posting on reddit. I usually just comment and upvote things lol.

Second C-section here, and already have an appointment with dr tomorrow to take a look at this possible opening?
I feel like this second section I was able to move around faster, and do things more normally than my first. My first really put me on my butt, and struggled getting up, walking around, and everything else.

But, I was put on antibiotics on Saturday, a topical and oral. Found out on Tuesday morning it’s a staph infection.
With my first csec, I ended up getting the wound glued? And had no sutures. This second one; I ended up with sutures.
My questions are-
How did you heal with sutures, how did you heal with an infection, and does it look like it opened?

Curious on AM readings!

Hello, I had pre-e that turned into HELLP with my first, we had her at 34w 3d in 2024. Now in 2026 Im pregnant with my second.

Since finding out about my second, since about 20w along I’ve been checking my BP 2-4 times a day. Now my question is, when I first wake up around 0530-0630 my BP can be a bit “high”? Around the 80s. And I’ll check again either few mins after the first reading or an hour after I eat breakfast.

Today it went to 122/93! And the second reading I did was right after on the other arm completely normal.

I guess question is, when do you check in the morning? What BP reading do you follow? I personally try to do the average bp between the two. But I see my doctor later this week. I’ll be bringing this up with her!
In photo I checked again after an hour of eating. So it seemed normal! Just curious on thoughts!
