Day6 and all still continuing well!! ds2 v contented, feeding well, lots of milk etc, fingers crossed that long may it continue. ds1 unfortunately down with G'ma's cold today so a little tearful, clingy and mummy orientated. Still sleeping and eating well, on GF routines, so no problem either.
dh on the other hand has managed to put a pile of dirty nappies into the tumble dryer without actually washing them first. (Apparantly they just sat in the w/machine for 1.5hrs first- "course I checked darling!!" this was last night after a few, me in bed asleep, and without turning the laundry room light on - doh!) Any tips on how to effectively clean your tumble dryer after this kind of episode gratefully appreciated. And I thought I was the sleep deprived, hormonal fuddled brained person .... clearly not!!
PS dh sleeps through night-time feeds and nappy changes, I do it all myself! He continues to snore loudly beside me, and then cheerfully asks in the morning if I had a good night!!
48hrs after cs and home was my decision. Kings College Hospital Post natal care leaves a lot to be desired. Nobody comes to you after 10pm no matter how many times you press the bell, so whats the point in staying is my feeling. Labour ward is a completely different picture, midwives there are fantastic and can't do enough for you which is brilliant. I've been v lucky with both sections, home after 48hrs both times. I had it done under a spinal both times, pain post op was negligible, and more than managed by voltarol and paracetamol, which I'm now no longer needing to take. Stitches out y'day, wound healing really well (despite a hacking cough for the last 2weeks-definitely a tug on those stitches each time I cough). Muscles not returning to pre-preg state quite as quickly this time, again not helped by the cough I think. But heh, it is just day 6, early days yet. Definitely can't rave enough about the whole event, its been a dream! And little Theo is gorgeous!
Many thanks for all of your kind messages, and Good Luck to any others expecting their new bundles soon. Hope things go well for you too.
