Hello Ladies,

Sorry for the absence, I've been in hospital, only got out on Friday.

Basically, 4 weeks after I had Zachary I was literally gushing blood and stuff. I went to the hospital, had a scan and was told there was membranes left inside from when he was born and that I had to take some antibiotics to prevent infection and that over the next week the membranes would leave. So, I took the weeks worth of antbiotics, continues to gush blood but assumed that was normal.

Anyhow, last Wednesday night I gushed blood again all over the bathroom and it was horrendous. So, on Thursday morning I took myself off to A&E, eventually I was referred to gynaecologist who scanned me again and found I still had just as much membrane left in me as I did at the previous scan, hence I was gushing blood. (This happened anytime, anywhere by the way!!).

Therefore, as I was 6 weeks post birth, it was decided I'd have an emergency D&C/ERPC (?). They kept me in and wouldn't let me home, so OH had to have off work to look after Zach. After a few false alarms, I had the operation Friday morning and was allowed home Friday night. Still bleeding now, which I'm SOOOO fed up of, but have been assured after a week tops it'll fade away!

I didn't really feel that poorly due to the membranes but now I've had the operation I really do feel like my pre - baby self, plus I've lost nearly 3lbs following the operation.

So pleased to be home with my boys. Zachary is an absolute joy, has his 6 week check up tomorrow and I've packed away some clothes that don't fit now - time is going so fast.

Made it out the house today! Took a little stroll around the village. It was great to get some fresh air, even had a cheeky half in the pub!

 

[Kathy82]

Oh Alipops sounds like a bit of an ordeal - glad you are all sorted now and hopefully the bleeding will settle soon.

Cannot believe being without DH at the moment - glad I have him at home for another two weeks Hope your first night goes well mackmummy and lilmiss x

Well, first night was awful! Oscar didn't sleep at all! Thankfully mum came over today and I got an hours sleep earlier! Surprised myself today with how much I got done, I was very organised. Two lots of sterilisation done, washing sorted, dishwasher on, baby changed (several times) tummy time, lots of cuddles, breast milk expressed and had visitors, I have been in pyjamas all day though and forgot to brush my teeth (done it now!) I miss my hubby so much though! And not just because he does everything! Would just love one of his snuggles!

 

[Kathy82]

Mackmummy it must be so difficult adjusting to nights on your own, could not doing much without DH around! How are you doing after your section? I am feeling a bit less pained though scar really uncomfortable and cannot be on my feet for too long.

Not sure if you know that there is also a sept mummies thread in the babies and toddler section, it seems to be a bit more active than here x

Well ladies Ive had no Internet for over a week now but am very happy to let you all know I had a baby girl, Charlotte Rose on 23rd September at 07.39 by emergency ceasarean after I failed to progress with induction. She was a whole 2 weeks late.

The shocking news is that she was 11lb4 and 65cm long. I was 2 stone lighter after it all! They reckon I had gestational diabetes develop in the last few weeks as had no bloods done in the last 4 weeks. But she is healthy and happy, has got so much hair and appetite that I am struggling to keep up with!

will try and add a pic if I can shrink it for forum.. Hope thee arent too many mamas left now to go?! Xx

Hi kathy, I won't lie, it's hard and scary without hubby here but when I'm not thinking about it I just get stuff done! Nights are difficult though, especially as he just won't sleep in a cot at night! Determined to get him into the swing of it though! I do go into the September babies and toddler section but I think I'm just sad to leave tri 3!!

I feel ok but still a bit tender, I can pretty much do everything but just a little more carefully. I just find it knocks my confidence a bit and I worry I can't do some thing for oscar if I'm on my own. God knows how I would have survived if chris wasn't here the first couple of weeks! He's off again soon thank god! To say I'm missing him is a huge understatement!

Have you had your scar checked out? I don't ever remember it feeling too bad.
