how did you find the recovery after your sections? with little ones running around?
I had a EMCS with my DD and am planning on another section - i had a easy recovery with her and just wondered if the recovery was harder the more sections you have?

[SLCMommy]

For me personally, each recovery was easier and easier. The first few days can be a little hard, but with my last baby #3, I was up walking around the night I had my C-Section. For me, I'm sore but i've never felt it to be painful. I'd assume it's JUST as sore as a woman who had a nasty vaginal tear or an episotmy (spelling?) just in a different location The only thing I've felt I needed time/help with was lifting baby & bathing but after a week i'm good to go with lifting baby, about two weeks after I can bathe without my husbands help. I know people who are up walking around the mall a few days after her c-section! (A little on a crazy side I think...). But overall, I found my healing to be pretty well. The only thing I've ever found painful was for the first few days the nurse comes in and massages your belly/uterus which is painfully tender bu that is the only thing I found I would actually say really hurts.

 

[SLCMommy]

As far as taking care of children goes, I assume it's the same as any woman, really. You don't want to be lifting older babies/kids regardless of how your child came into the world. Every new momma could use help with food, cleaning, cooking, watching of the kids It'll all fall in place!

Thanks SLCMommy

Haven't been in this thread fr a while, I've been in a bit of a tailspin since my scan on Friday, did not go well.

At first I was elated when I saw a little flickering blob on he screen and a good yolk sac, but then she told me the baby was measuring two weeks behind and the fetal heart rate was slow, 99 and then 94! She said for 8 weeks she likes to see a heart rate in the 140s and as I was measuring behind, for 6 weeks in the 110-130 range. I've never had an early scan before so I have nothing to compare it to. IM convinced my dates are not off and she said to go back in a weeks time to see what's happening, she said its a 50/50 chance either way and to hold tight. So, yeah, that's where I'm at right now. Then she gave me the whole miscarriage shpeel...and told me if I start soaking through pads before my scan, to go to the ER. Hubby and I left in a daze with a picture of what I assume will be an angel baby by next Friday.

Don't give up hope yet! Things can turn around and have done for many people on this forum. I hope you're feeling okay and that things improve. Please let us know how you go. I'll be thinking of you

can relate all to well but i pray that things get stronger for you

hi ladies,

hope you're all doing well today/

im having a worry day. ive been really nauseous for about a week and a h;af, some days really really nauseous but though i complained i wanted it all as i knew that it meant everything was probably ok. today i have hsd alot less and have hardly noticed it where as before its been dragging me down all day. especially if my stomach is empty. i think my other symptoms are still there, bbs are still full and heavy but only really notice their soreness at night.

should i be worried that my nausea has/is fading?

normally af would be due on sunday so im already having a pretty anxious week awaiting that to NOT come....last time i only missed one af before a mc!

 

[AthenaPlusOne]

hope--I don't think so! Everyone gets MS differently. Some never get any, some get it for a week. I'd count yourself lucky that you didn't have it very long!!

 

[skeet9924]

I agree with Athena.. Enjoy it while you don't have it, it may come bag with a vengence

 

[AthenaPlusOne]

Is anyone, by chance, on Zofran and it's not making one bit of a difference in the MS game??

 

[jmfayard]

yes zofran did not help for me at all!
phenergan worked but it knocked me out and slept for a few hours.

Hi Hope
I had the same thing happen at about 8 weeks and started worrying. I had a scan at 9 weeks and all was well and now at 10 weeks feel pretty amazing. I agree with the other ladies - Enjoy!

Hi all im now all booked in at the anti natal clinic and will be under a consultant instead of a midwife because of my history, have another scan on the 3rd cant wait! i just wondered have any of u ladies had a natural birth after a csection before im a bit worried? x

Hey Klaremum, I had complications with my daughter and have been wondering the same thing...I too had a csection and after it the Dr told me there wasnt anything physically wrong with my body that I could probably have a natural v-birth next time. However I did have other issues that could prevent that I guess you got to plan for the possibility of both scenarios. I know I am going to ask for all the drugs possible this time round as last time I thought I was super woman and didn't ask for any which in hindsight was stupid of me.

Only the zofran rapid release (on the tongue) worked for me. The actual zofran in the pill form didn't work for me at all.

Phenergan works like a charm for me too, but it makes me sleep and sleep an entire day! for HOURS!! So I only take Phenergan would absolutely needed. lol

Thanks for the comments. I didn't know there was a rapid release! I am going to the doctor for an u/s tomorrow, I'll have to ask her about that! The pill is doing absolutely nothing for me!

It's a shame you ladies can't get diclectin ( it's available in Canada) it has worked amazing for me. The first few days on it I was a bit nauseous.. And that's it. I thi k since I started taking it I've only actually thrown up twice and I'm just nauseous the odd time here and there. It's been a god send since I couldn't keep anything down at all

I am taking it as well, it is great!!!! I still have some bad days, but really nothing compared to before taking it!

 

[sharnw]

Hi all
Been stressed and crying nearly most of the day
My dog died this morning
I hope the stress isnt harming the baby

 

[skeet9924]

Oh sharn I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your dog. My dogs are my family and would be devastated I'm sure baby is doing okay.

I'm kind of stressed to due to my pup.. She's been sick and it's getting worse.. She's only six.. Has an auto immune disorder that causes her nose to peel and her nails to fall off.. Just the past few days she seems to have a uti.. She's been peeing like crazy.. She's even resorted to peeing in the house at night which she never even did as a puppy. It breaks my heart to see her this way.. I have a vet appt tomorrow.

I'm sending you lots of love and and I'll say a little prayer for your pup up in heaven
