Has anyone else experienced very little post natal care since leaving the hospital after their c-section? Everything seems to be cancelled with the excuse that it’s due to covid. The midwife was supposed to come every day at first but came twice and phoned once instead of coming. When you’re a new mum, don’t have a clue what you’re doing and have an incision that you have no way of telling whether it’s infected or not, how is a phone call any use? 🤷🏼♀️ I was told to take the dressing off it myself because they don’t have time to do it. The health visitor then came after day 10 and comes once a week. She’s lovely and very helpful but hasn’t checked me at all, it’s just for the baby really. My car insurance says I need to have a doctor check me at 6 weeks and say I’m fit to drive. I phoned the doctors to book my 6 week check-up and was told they won’t be doing postnatal checks just now ‘due to covid’. I questioned this and asked if this was even if you’d had a c-section but was told they won’t be doing it. If I really want to speak to a doctor at 6 weeks I can phone and get a telephone appointment 🤦🏼♀️ How am I medically trained to assess whether or not my wound is infected, my uterus has gone back down, my ab muscles haven’t split etc? It just seems complete madness!
