tennisfan I would kill for a bath, but have bad SPD and have no hope in hell of getting out of said bath without a winch! It's a shower, with assistance from DP, for me!
TBH, I'm thinking I don't need to prepare too much as I ended up with an emergency section with DD, well before the point when I was even expecting to go into labour, and they managed it, even with me in a blind panic, shouting and screaming. I just want this one to be a positive thing, IYSWIM. But then I am very squeamish, and a complete wimp, so I bet I end up making a massive fuss
Am I right in thinking that eating all the meat I can find wouldn't make a difference as to whether I need a blood transfusion or not? I had one last time and for some reason that really upset me (I think it was just the final straw) and would like to avoid one if at all possible.
How about my, ahem, bowels? I'm constipated anyway, should I try and get things moving with a load of dried apricots and so on to clear me out, or just leave it, on the basis that i don't want to be struggling to and from the loo after the op?
