Anyone TTC#2 and wanting to chat

[x-TyMa-x]

oh none whatsoever! ...the worst part was ....
TMI ALERT: I tore badly inside and out and lost alot of blood ...they brought a doctor in to do my stitches and he puts my legs in these stirrups...and brings this big light down from the ceiling and aims it well ...u kno!! ...... like the lights they blind u with in the dentist, i was like OMG what is this about!! haha no dignity left at all after that!!

 

[Sambles]

Lol I had stitches too and when my legs were in stirrups my OH chose that moment to walk back in the room and let's just say he got the worst view possible. I'm surprised we're even TTC # 2 after what he saw, I thought it would've scarred him for life x

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Lol!!! ...You'd think seen as its meant to be one of the most natural things in life....they would make it a bit easier and less humiliating lol!!

How long was your labour sambles, u go naturally or did u get induced , am sure uve told us i cant remember x

 

[sun]

OMG I am so lucky I didn't need stitches as I only got 1 small tear... The thought terrifies me completely!!! Just thinking of it now - ouch! And I thought I took a long time to feel normal afterwards - like months!!! How long did it take to heal??

 

[sun]

I know what you mean about the dignity.... I was all shy and covered up at first. By the end I was wearing a tuque and nothing else and there were like 15 people in the room (bunch of med students) all lined up getting a good look
And I couldn't have cared less LOL!!!

OMG I hate the bleeding for weeks on end after the birth and having to wear big granny knickers with those door wedges inside. It wasnt very attractive.

Poor Chris i couldnt get into town the first week after having the section so i had to send him out to Boots to buy me some door wedge pads too.

[x-TyMa-x]

LMAO!!! Your dentist visits will never be the same now lol!! ...haha!! thats exactly what it was like tho lol..... embarrasing hehe!!

I was induced because I was 10 days over. I had contractions all night before I went in but wasn't in active labour. Had the gel inserted at 6pm mon evening. Contractions started at 8 but none of the midwives believed me and refused to examine me - instead I was offered pararcetemol!! At 11 they became excruitiating but still wouldn't examine me. I was literally gripping the sides of the bed where I was in so much pain and there were 3 other women (not in labour) on the same ward so I was trying not to make noise because they were sleeping.

Anyway my waters went at 1.30am even though it took them 20 mins to answer my buzzer call and when I was examined I was 7 - 8cm! I was taken to the delivery suite, left in the corridor on my own in a wheelchair for 10 mins while they got my room ready. When the mw put me on the bed she didn't offer me any pain relief and just left me. My mum and OH arrived and they asked if I could have gas and air which I had for half hour. I then asked for something stronger but when she examined I was fully dilated. I pushed for about an hour and Sam was born at 3.50 am.

Sorry I didn't actually mean to write the whole story lol! x

Sorry if this is TMI but my stitches came undone and at 8 weeks PP I had a bit of excess tissue kind of hanging down so I had to see a consultant and he had to burn it off with silver nitrate. Ouchy!

OMG ouch ouch!!! I bled for a long time (9 weeks) but didn't have anything close to that kind of pain. It is the one thing that scares me about doing it again though - especially if LO goes to term (they projected he would have been around 10lbs ) ... I felt really weird for months after though - like all my lady parts were falling out and there was tons of pressure if I stood up for a long time. No idea what it was but it lasted for a long time

 

[x-TyMa-x]

wow so u did it just on gas and air........bravery award goes to you!!!
stef: door wedge pads LMAO!!!.....They are huge!!

 

[sun]

Sambles - OMG so painful!! xx
