mls still made up for you lol at sitting like a priest...i thought they knelt and prayed???
at your spa day, are you getting any treatments....

just rearranging boobs back soon!

barbie1 · 11/03/2010 07:21

C sectioners can i ask a few questions???

I have hard lumps under the scar (more on the left side than right) im sure its just scar tissue but should i go to the doctors?

Also how long does the bleeding normally last for after c sectiion?

Did it ever feel like they had stitched you up too tight? by this i mean sometimes it feels like a pull on the scar like the skin has been stretched.

When can i go swimming?

I am that i didnt get ny after care advice from the hospital.

Last night i was finally brave enough to have a good look after peeling of the paper stitched and doing a little gardening down there

Its not too bad, infact its quite small considering a baby came out of it!

Thanks in advance....

blue i hate coconut ... silly question but does the chocolate salty balls taste very coconutty? I really want to make some.

Oh and anyone bought the pebble maxi cosi car seat and the family fix base? Just had a call to take it back to the store as they are recalling the bases not sure why but seems silly as i have to drive down there using the base???
And yes you can drive any time after c section over here...crazy crazy country!

mermaidspurse · 11/03/2010 08:58

moon you are a seat of the pants adrenaline junky. I hope you are ok, thinking of you lots and if you accidentally walk past a chemist at lunch time you know what to do.xx

mls hooray glad that's under your belt. I just usually ignore insensitive people, let it go over your head.

neeko I am opting for a little Aries for you 24th.

Barbie you are not lifting stuff are you, not stretching too high etc I am sure you really are meant to take it super easy after a c section. I think there are lots of muscles that have to knit and mend.
That is an incredible weight gain you are both doing so well

vjay oh the things we know about each other how did they manage to fit one of those? My dr gave up cos of my retroverted watsit.

blue that is a nice sunday morning recipe to try out thank you lovely.

4ever well done for getting through another sad anniversary. Your mum sounds lovely and such a strong lady.
And huge yeahs for paying for the pram. A truly historic moment

kate lovely to think of you on the saggy exhausted bench, big kiss for Boris( sorry it has stuck in my head now)

ThePFJ · 11/03/2010 09:03

Hi barbie,

Feeling a bit better again today. I had hard lumps in my tummy around the area under my c-section scar for what seemed like AGES. So sorry to tell you this, but it will take a few months for them to dissolve, so you are best off forgetting about them and trying not to let them bother you. I bled on and off for a week or so, check with the hospital on that one. As for the tight pains in your stitches, this you can expect as the stitches begin to dissolve and move around. However I had a few stitches with large knots in and in the end I got my GP to have a look and pull the last bits out because they were poking me badly and they seemed to refuse to dissolve. I am getting sharp pulling pains around the stitches from my fallopian tube removal right now as well, if it makes you feel any better? Bloody hurts. Sympathy for you. Hope that helps.

Much love ThePFJ XXX

barbie1 · 11/03/2010 11:03

pfj Im sorry that you are in pain today Thanks for your reponse re c-section. I thought as much about the lumpy bits, im one of those people who will keep touching the scar to see if anything has changed i will do my best to forget about it
I hope you are at home and resting, do you have to go back to hospital for any futher test or anything? Im glad you are sticking with us, it really is a funny kinda place Where else can you get a chocolate balls recipe, learn about fanjo gems and still get the support you need???

mermaid me, lifting? never! Oh ok maybe i have been overdoing it a little, the thing is i feel so well that i forget its classed as a 'major operation' I hope i havent done any damage i will sit down and rest with feet up and some haribo's (subtitute for mini eggs, dubai style)
Any more clues on square toed mystery person???

Neeko · 11/03/2010 11:19

Morning!

In true Monica style, I have to put the list in order. Actually can't believe Blue of Vjay haven't done this already

Barbie I agree with Mermaid take it easy lady, or we'll pinch your Barbiemobile and come and sort you out! Think it'll take a while for your scar to settle down but you should contact the doc if at all concerned.

Memaid aren't you going to tell us who the celebrity is?

4ever Hope the antenatal goes well and you can record hb.

Hi to sabsthelurkylady

ThePFJ great to see you feeling up to posting. Hope you're taking it easy. What did the say at the hospital about next steps? (Sorry, if that's too nosy)

Moon thinking of you and your dilema. x

MLS Don't you dare get those clothes out the loft and don't deny you were thinking about it!!!

Hi to everyone else. Hope MrsKate is over the shock of the speedy delivery and looking forward to her 1st Mum's day on Sunday.

DD has finally regained her appetite after being ill last week. I think she's eaten a week's worth of food since she got home from nursery yesterday. Clearly takes after her mum

Hi Iggy and well done for putting it in the right order!

BTW my nesting list has only 3 items left on it and 2 of them are get pram from loft (which I can't do) and clean pram (which I cant do til DH does 1st) What am I going to do next? Start the Christmas shopping?!?

barbie1 · 11/03/2010 11:30

neeko i would lie bend the truth to dh and say that you have been having contractions, it might scare him into the loft! or failing that christmas shopping might be the sensible option....

iggypiggy · 11/03/2010 11:35

neeko i always like to bake cakes - could you do that

Neeko · 11/03/2010 11:38

Think I'll just browse around MN for a while. Really should try to finish the cardi too. Really struggling for motivation today which is most unlike me

ThePFJ · 11/03/2010 11:39

Hi everyone,

Glad I was able to help Barbie. Feels good to contribute.

I am due a (hopefully) final blood test on Friday to check my pregnancy hormone levels have dropped correctly. I no longer have sore boobs/bloatedness etc etc. so I think they should have virtually disappeared which means I can get on with waiting for my cycle to get back to normal... which means I can then plan to try again for LO number 2. I really want another baby, and I am very optimistic about my chances, even if I am officially just a 'lefty' now!!

Since everyone is having a go, can I try too?
