What is that tablet they put in your bum?!

[cherryglitter]

After you've delivered lol!
It wasn't a suppository!
The consultant said it would help me with the pain.. is that what it's really for?! Does anyone know what it's called? xx

 

[twinklestar]

any tablet that goes up ya bum is called a suppository, it was most likely to have been an anti infamatory painkiller like volterol or diclofenic

Tbh i didint know if they put it up my bum or my foof cos i was that out of it ha ha. I remember the my saying it would help with the pain so i presume it was a painkiller x

 

[Seity]

They didn't put anything up mine.

 

[hayley x]

I didnt have anything either time x

 

[bathbabe]

i didnt have anything either! X

 

[twinklestar]

i had them for afterpains with my 3rd and after section with my 4th x

It would have been rectal analgesia, maybe to avoid you throwing your painkiller up, PR might have been the simplest alternative. I don't know what kind of painkiller it would have been though, it could have been as simple as paracetamol.

 

[Rhiannon]

i didnt have this? im guessing they tell you if they are giving it to you?

i couldnt feel anything much down there for a few days!!

My midwife told me it was Diclofenic (sp?) which I know to be a pain killer.

 

[Sovereign]

I had this too x

 

[iceylou]

i had one too. painkiller i think, it was a bit blurry

 

[cabaretmum2b]

Definitely painkillers, according to my MW Unless you had PPH like me, in which case it might have been something to stop your cervix from closing xx

 

[SaraAbi]

They said I couldn't have it as I react to ibuprofen so I'm guessing it's something similar.

 

[discoclare]

i had a pain suppository. i think it was voltoral / diclofenac (sp?)

 

[sarahchops86]

I was offered it was told it was an anti-inflammatory which i cant take.

 

[stephx]

I had this!! I was too out of it to ask what it was lol xx

 

[bluebaby]

i had it too, assumed it was a painkiller for my stitches after a forcep delivery

 

[Sarah10]

I remember (only just because i was so out of it haha) they did actually put something in mine, i wonder if thats what it was? i always did wonder why they did that.. i was constantly throwing up so it might of been a tablet or something since i couldn't take anything orally as it would of just come back up again lol.

Don't think I got this. I had an epidural for a forceps delivery so couldn't tell you what went on down there, but no one mentioned anything!!!! God they could've done anything to me I wouldn't of been any the wiser!!!lol
