So background is that at 1 week post c-section my wound got infected. I was given 5 days of antibiotics, it didn't clear up so got another 7 days and was referred to district nurses for regular checks and wound dressing. Finished the antibiotics 10 days ago and last two checks by nurses have been great, no sign of infection and wound healing nicely. That was the state of things last Wednesday.
Just saw the nurses again today and I have an infection again! So am back on two types of antibiotics, had wound drained and swab taken for analysis. Am not allowed to shower or bathe to keep it dry and have to go back Wednesday.
Am gutted. Was hoping to be discharged from nurses' service today but this happens instead.
I already had an appointment with my antenatal doctor for Wednesday as have been getting dizzy spells, have trouble going to the loo and believe I'm suffering from PND, so this is just the icing on the cake really. It was her that the nurses brought in to have a look and prescribe the antibiotics so I mentioned that I had booked an appointment, so she's added this infection to the list of things to discuss.
I feel rubbish
