First of all thanks so much for all of your good wishes xx
Good Luck Umlauf xx
Re injection for the 3rd stage. I had it with my first 2 births, but had a nasty reaction to it the 2nd time, which left me with a hard and sore lump on my thigh for weeks.
Refused it the last 3 times, but they have pretty much said I have to have it this time, as apparently the more babies you have the higher your chance of bleeding.
Yes wicked she spooked, to be fair we spooked the pig first, then it ran off making a load of noise, she jumped - I let go, thinking it was safer (though totally not something I would usually do), but was already off balance, and fell onto my bump/right side. Am a little stiff/sore this morning, but not too bad really.
takingachance thats what's happening to mine (also kept at home) but they are living out anyway atm.
And Flyer (think it was you) ime I have healed better from healing naturally, than stitching, although only happened once each. I tore a little the first time and was stitched, and tore the 3rd time (probably as noone was with me to tell me not to push at crowning!) but left it and was much more comfy and healed quicker. - but have to say both were tiny tears.
Hope all those with tiny babies are doing ok?
Off to mw for 38 wk appt later.
