@LoneWanderer you are a trooper! That’s a long time without food and I would be pissed to be waiting that long and then sent out. So glad they got you in though and that you actually had great anesthesiologists for your section. I love his pics!!!


@Reiko_ctu i have GD and didn’t know you could take apple cider vinegar to help with numbers! Do you take it before or after you eat? And with every meal?

I started taking it when my fasting went up, after reading a study on T2 disbetics who had 2tbsp of ACV diluted in 1/2 cup water, and 2 ounces of cheese right before bed - and it helped lower their fasting within 2 days. Apparently not the same results with T1 diabetes but it's been helpful for my GD. Lowered my fasting from 5.5 to 4.8 for a few weeks. But they've been creeping up again as I'm hitting the hormone spike time. I've been getting 5.2/3 this week so it's not working as well now. I think if you're looking for post meal numbers you can take a bit with the meal and it helps moderate the digestion of the carbs a bit so you don't get a big spike. I haven't done that yet because I'm just controlling my carbs and my post meal numbers are fine, but it's getting harder. Things I could eat 3 weeks ago make me go high now. Kinda annoying it just keeps getting worse and worse until like 36/37 weeks.
 
@MadamRose and @LoneWanderer ah they are so cute!!! Loving the baby pics!!

@Suggerhoney enjoy your beach day!! Sounds like so much fun! We went to the beach in June but it is a 6 hour drive from here so no way I would be up for it now lol. Was so nice to sit in the sand though. Enjoy it!!

@Reiko_ctu good to know! I will try it if I can swallow it lol. Sounds so gross. But foods that I could eat are now making me spike so I am willing to give it a go.
 
Honestly aside from the stress before, once my section was actually happening it was an absolute dream - as far as major surgery can be - and I actually enjoyed it. I hope you get the same experience <3 good luck and can't wait to see baby and hear all about it!
 
72 hours now since the section... really hope the kid's laxido kicks in for me tomorrow because I'm starting to get a bit scared hahahaha! All I've done since weds eve is eat, and I dunno where its all hiding coz the urge is yet to strike me! Every day that passes adds to the fear...(!) :rofl:
 
How is everyone? It’s been a haze of cluster feeding cuddling and trying to get baby to sleep in her cot at night.it’s my birthday weekend so treated myself to a half glass of red wine tonight wild!
 
Omgosh @LoneWanderer and @MadamRose seriously loving the pics! They are both sooo cute!!

Lone I'm sorry they tore you taking the dressing off!! Have you been for a shower yet? After my last section i was up and showering only a few hrs after because I'm so used to pain it's just one of those things but this time I'm going to take my time and let myself heal properly this time!

@Bittersweet happy birthday! Well deserved drink!

I got up about 1am the night of the op, they got the catheter out and sent me off for a shower. But - I was just whinging to the other half about this actually - so the shower on the ward was a tiny little cubicle thing with a sort of 'tilt inwards' sliding door, and honestly I don't know how they expect preggos/recently preggos to fit through the bloody thing. I thought it would be some sort of wet room and chair set up, but nope. So in the end I just sort of half leaned through it and had a rinse off, not ideal.

Anyway tonight I navigated the climb over the bath into our shower and it was an absolute dream, I feel great. Scar a little bit wet and icky after but don't think infected, and nice to just feel fresh again.
 
@Neversayno
So not long hon. Can't believe I'm next after you.
So exciting but nervous at the same.
Hope ure c section and my induction go really smoothly.
Can't wait to see ure baby pics hon.

@MadamRose

But take all the time u need.

@LoneWanderer
Hehe hope u go soon and its soft.
How is little man has he settled in nicely?



Hope everyone else is OK.

We had a lovely day at the beach but I've been in so much pain all day.
Walking was so so painful and have had braxton hicks contractions on and off all day and had a few in the car coming home that were painful.
In my back as well as lower bump.

So much pressure in lower bump all day too.
Keep getting clear goowey cm not sure what it is.

Anyway was a lovely day but not gonna lie Was glad to get back home.
So labour can start anytime it wants from now on.
Can't believe this time next Saturday baby cud be here or I cud still be in labour.

Loads to do this week so hopefully time won't drag. .
Roll on Saturday.
 
Nothing much going on now baby wise untill Wednesday. That's anther early wake up because my growth scan is at 8:30am and I have a consultant at 9:20am too.
Also may need monitoring and more bloods that day too.

Then it's just making sure all the kids are ready for school Friday. I still need to write there names I lol.
Then making sure I have everything packed. There's a few last minute things to put in on the day.
And I wanna blitz the house probably Thursday.
And I still need to to do laundry.
Then it will be induction time yay.
 
Suggar that was me i had like every day pretty planned to make it go quicker tik the Sunday.


Recovery wise ladies how long has it taken people to get a bit better? I’m still bleeding lightly and my stitches are sore but they are 2 weeks Now. I can walk around fine and did bit walk it gets a bit heavy feeling haven’t attempted to drive in a week lol
 
@Suggerhoney is someone coming to stay with your kids or are you sending them to someone’s house while at the hospital? I haven’t decided which would be easiest on my kids yet. If I end up making it to my induction it’s on a Monday. I really wanted a Friday so they would just come home after school and hang out with my parents for the weekend. Now I have to worry about someone getting them ready for school, packing lunches and drop off and pick up. Ugh. I may just have them not go to school Monday and Tuesday so there isn’t a big stressful situation. I think that’s what I am stressing about most is them while I’m gone.
 
@Bittersweet its been a while for me, but I remember bleeding a while, like 4 - 5 weeks. But I remember the first 2 weeks were the worst and then it was like a normal
Period bleed. So I think you are past the worst of it!

For what it’s worth we had my sister take my son out with her little one then she took him to my mums. I had like a school bag all packed snacks all sorted etc and that was a massive relief as he had nursery the Monday and Tuesday then my oh got him home from nursery Tuesday. It was quite stress free because I had organised it all to make it easier in me and on them and hun.

I hope so the bleeding is fine it’s just more the weird stitches feeling as with my son I was still in hospital he was still in NICU so I didn’t really notice
 
Scar's gone a bit oozy and icky so looks like quick hosp trip tomoz for me to have it checked over, booo. Most likely because the toddler's head is exactly level with it and I've had a few swift headbutts already!
