Lol inky xx

I think i'd like to have oh help me, but theres a bit massive bath in the bathroom so I'm wondering if that would beb better instead? x

Just bumping this incase any of the new mummies had anything they wanted to add xx

Ok then....

Well things I didn't know would happen..

I had a difficult delivery including surgery to remove the placenta using a spinal block and they pumped me full of fluids (6l). Twice during the first night in hospital I got oout of bed and just wet myself. It was literally gushing out of me. I think it was a combination of the fluids and remainder of the spinal block but I just paniced and thought that's it i'l be incontinent forever. rest assured 8 days on and I have (almost) full control.

Brilliant thread, I've sat and read the whole thing. Started off by thinking "Oh god I don't want to do this anymore!" then got halfway through and though "I don't care if I poo on the bed, that's the least of my worries!" and have got to the end feeling much better and prepared for labour.

Us women are super humans, it's such an amazing thing!

I had read this thread before I went in to be induced, and even though I'd been told a million times I wouldn't care about the whole undignifiedness of it all, I was still convinced I would find it really embarrassing - well I can now say 100% you really don't give a frig who's looking at what bits of you! And I've had to have stitches checked by pulling my pants down and bending over, and a team of doctors with their faces inches from my inner workings for stitches for a few hours I really feel like I've lost the shame gene I've always had.

[xshauna_bazx]

Yuck you just reminded me about the finger up the arse lol how embarrassing! By this time though all your dignity is out the window!! xxx

 

[Rachey]

Why do you get a finger up your bum?? xxx

 

[xshauna_bazx]

To make sure you haven't ripped through your arse lol! Seriously after them seeing your bits and delivering your baby you won't care, its only when you think afterwards lol.xxx

 

[Constantstar]

Oh gosh lol

 

[Cantstop]

I didn't even feel it, it was just part of the blur that goes on downstairs after the baby comes out but by then you're having a cuddle and full of oh my god it's a baby that they could do anything to you and you wouldn't notice!

 

[Rachey]

lol oh dear! i really hope i don't notice either

 

[Pudds86]

haha cant say I didnt notice the finger because the midwife warned me about it but I didnt care I was too into Campbell! xx

 

[KatyMarie]
