wow, well done, i'll add you to the mummy thread!
 
Thanks Sar I feel fine now and beginning to get excited again - I will have my little boy soon. Just put more waterproofing on my bed in case it all starts tonight but will equally enjoy resting and chilling tomorrow if it doesnt.
 
ooooooooooh its quiet in here tonight......are you having babies?
 
Did Joanna mean swallow as in.... :sick:

:rofl:

No baby here just watching some TV...
Tried some bouncing, some tweaking and some curry... and nothing.
I've resigned myself to a long wait now.

Going to the cinema tomorrow. any recommendations?
saw Kings Speech last week and was thinking about Black Swan, maybe?
Anyone seen it?
 
No baby here either... Maybe tomorrow because I'll be home all alone! Lol.
 
Hi ladies, not had chance to catch up yet. Been really hard going after the section- wound has reopened and swelling is so bad my tummy touches my legs when I sit or walk up a step so am constantly stuck lying down or trying to sleep while dosed up on painkillers. Feel like a proper prat too because loads of you ladies have had emergency sections and dealt with them much better than I am and also, i said I'd still be here once the LO was born and I've not been.
Hoping to have a look through and see who has had their little ones since last I looked- already seen jo- fearne is such a cool name. Congrats jo and all
The other ladies with new arrivals.
Section mums - advice please, what should I be doing to make sure it heals? Should I be laid up in bed or walking around? Do i need more sleep? Etc etc
 
I would suggest getting up and walking around as soon as you can. But take it easy...no stairs as that sounds like its painful for you. I totally believe I healed so quickly and well becuse i got up and movig around as soon as they would let me and have continued to do so. Lots of rest and try not to use your stomach muscles to pull yourself up to sitting. I have been sleeping onthe couch so I can use the back cushions to pull myself up. keep an eye on your blood flow. If it starts to get darker red or there is more than the last time you checked then you are doing to much and should rest a little more. Dont over do it.
Wish you the best of luck with healing and hope no infection sets in and it doens't open up again. Make sure to look at your incision twice a day to check for signs of infection. The sooner you get it looked after the quicker infection can be dealt with. But hope you dont have to worry about that.

Hey hun I got an infection after my section and it totally knocked my recovery back. Dont feel like you're not dealing with it well, its not an easy thing to get over especially if your incision is opening. I dont know if you have been told the same, but i was told not to take baths as it increases the risk of infection so just to shower and let water run over incision, but no soap. Try and get up and about but gradually build it up every day - i started going just round the corner and back and gradually increased it. Do as little as you can housework-wise if possible, let someone help you out, you dont want to over-stretch yourself and pull that incision anymore. And keep an eye on it and ring docs if you are worried about anything. I left my infection far too long and ended up on tabs 10 days instead of 3 and got a fever etc. :hugs: hope you feel better soon.

Hi :hugs: I must admit my first section was much worse than this time. I'd advise spray it with shower and pat dry twice a day then lie down and and lift tummy up so air can get to it for at least 10 minutes.
 
And be careful with bending and stretching I never thought and stretched up to adjust the shower and it bloody hurt. So take things slowly and dont push yourself too hard.
