So, so sorry to hear your devastating news. Hope you're OK.

How do they work? Do you put nappies in them and they compost themselves or something different??

How does everyone dispose of their shop bought nappies. I don't mean the ones with liners in.

Just wondered how long after having your baby you waited to get pregnant again.

Well, I've had 2 baths since my post and all seems OK. Hadn't read the bit about infections though! Maybe wouldn't have had 1 if I'd known!

Thanks all :) Got my night planned now!! Once OH is home from work I have a date with the bath!

Thanks ladies :) Hayley1608, yes, had a C section Friday 13th!! Still sore, but not too bad.

Thanks for the info. Desperate for a good soak!!

In Hospital they told me I could only have a shower after a C section, as the wound shouldn't be soaked. It's been just over 3 Weeks since my op, so would it be OK to have a bath now??

When am I likely to get my period after having a C section???

3 Weeks early due to complications.

It was emergency, and 3 Weeks early, so no actual labour! Am on iron tablets :)

Has anyone else who has had a C section know how long you have to keep the flight socks on? I was initially told 5 days after the op. Then another Doctor told me yesterday 6 months, then changed it to 6 Weeks?? All a bit varied! Anyone know for sure how long you keep them on??

I'm so tired after having a C section last Friday. I have to express milk in the early hours and it's such an effort to get up and do it! I get up feeling tired and by evening I'm having difficulty keeping my eyes open! I feel totaly shattered. Anyone else feel like this after a cessarian?

James is now up to 3 hourly feeds and has put weight on again. He's now 4lb 10.5 oz :) He's still being fed through a tube. Hopefully once he starts to feed properly he'll be able to come home.
