MEGA pains in back. No idea if I'm in labour.

SchrodingersMew · 20/09/2011 16:38

Had some bleeding and some bloody mucus the past few days and now I am having fucking mega pains in my back. About half way up and down to the bottom.

(TMI ALERT) Also had a very, very upset tummy earlier today.

I have no idea if I am in labour or not and apologies if this OP is all over the place as I really can't think straight I'm in that much pain and this is even through Tramadol!

Someone help, please!

Hi there everyone! Thank you for all the kind messages. :)

In the end he was back to back so you were all right!

In tiny baby clothes at 6lb 1oz and feeding well but is in special care at the moment so I don't have him just now. :(

Hello congratulations!

He is gorgeous. So cute. Well done. Sounds like you had a rough ride. Time does heal.

So sorry to hear you have had to come home without him. It's the worse feeling ever- my best friend has been through it twice do I understand the emotions you must be feeling. He will soon be with you at home though x

Thanks Sleep, hopefully I will have him home today. I just feel so guilty. :(

Also I really need help with my stitches. :S I really don't know if they are normal and they're agony.

Hope you get you baby home today Smile must be hard for you.
I had forceps and an episiotomy with ds1 and was v uncomfortable for a bit. My saving grace was one of those doughnut cushions normally for piles I think and painkillers! It does get better every day and when Eirik is with you that will help too! Grin

wheelshavefallenoffthebus · 29/09/2011 06:49

Best to get stitches checked though if they haven't been recently and are v painful. Good luck Smile

YougreatPamplemousse · 29/09/2011 07:32

Congratulations.

:( that he is in SCBU.

Do get the MW to check your stitches but I found mine were most saw on day 4/5. Salt water baths help alot.

Oeisha · 29/09/2011 08:21

Schrodinger Aww! Eirik's sooo cute!
I hope your wee man can come home today.

BonzoDooDah · 29/09/2011 09:01

Awwww so cute and tiny! Congratulations on making such a lovely boy!

You have nothing to feel guilty about do you? You did your best - nothing ever goes as you plan it you know! And a happy, loved baby at the end is the most important thing. Hope your stitches get better soon.

CombineArvester · 29/09/2011 11:59

He's absolutely lovely I am very happy for you. I hope you get some much needed rest soon.
