No, mine didnt hurt when they went in either, when DH did them quickly Although im not gonna lie, there was a 'sting' after for a few seconds

The only time it hurt was when he decided to try a 'differnt way' & injected it slowly!

I didnt have any injections after i left hospital the only thing the MW did after was take out my bead stitch 5 days later x

I didnt have the injections with my DS1 or DS2....

I was told I needed them this time due to my age (charming! ) & the fact that id had more than one LO

 

[x__amour]

No injections for me!

 

[heyyady]

I have never even HEARD of anyone getting injections after

I have been having horrid burning like pain on the right side under my incision. It's not all the time, in fact it only happens at night when I roll over, but not always then, either. I called my Dr and found out that A. my insurance only covers pregnancy related issues for 60 days after birth and B. they can't see me for 3 weeks! I'm just afraid I have some kind of infection

The clexane injections are given here in the UK after a c-section to reduce the risk of blood clots...I can't remember being sent home with them after my first, 5 years ago, although they did administer it in hospital...yet I had them with Amber, so think it must be a fairly recent thing?

I dont remember being given that injection unless they gave it when I was still in theatre?

I certainly didn't have one when I was at home.

I had the clexane injections twice daily in the tummy...the midwifes did them for the 2 days I was in after surgery...then I was sent home with a further 7 days worth to administer myself.

It's crazy how much hospitals around the country differ!!!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I had 5 days of fragmin injections, 4 of which were given when I was in hospital and one when I came home, but by the midwife. Also had to wear those stylish stockings, which I gave up on after about 3 days

I have heard it said that any pregnancy after a section birth is classed as high risk - is that true?

Is it because of possible uterine rupture?

Just thinking about what to expect in my next pregnancy

Yeah, this is what I've heard as well.
I was told I will be at high risk because of my preeclampsia, EMCS and insufficient pelvic space.

I was border line preeclamptic during labour too, high BP

What happens during a high risk pregnancy? Do you have more visits with midwife etc? Extra scans?

I think so.
And I'll probably be on bed rest for almost the whole thing if I get preeclampsia again. WOOHOO.

I had those injections for 5 days after the birth. The MW came to the house and did them for me in my belly where it was still numb so didn't feel a thing!

 

[pichi]

my MW done mine too but i got mine in my leg :S

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Ouch, I hate injections in my legs! The only time it didn't hurt was when they did it right after the section and the spinal hadn't worn off yet

 

[pichi]

yeah- one of the nurses made a right mess of my leg too

that was just 1 of the 5

 

[mrsraggle]

Ouch pichi!! I don't know why she did them in your leg... at least your belly was numb and you wouldn't've felt it!

 

[Heidi]

Owch looks like she took a run up when she did those
