Hi im pregnant with my 3rd and have been hearing of women having to have jabs for 6 weeks after a c section birth. Is this right as I never had them with the first two and they were both c section babys.

Not just c-sections - I had a spinal block for ventouse delivery and was discharged with a seven day course of clexane. Given a sharps bin and returned it to hospital, although pharmacy would also have taken it.

Nope, none here.

5 days of clexane here. Wasn't too bad once I'd got used to doing it. Mind you, I'd been doing six blood tests a day (diabetes) prior to the birth, so I was well used to sticking needles in myself by then!
