What happens at a pre-op

[xkatyx]

Hi,

I have my csection pre-op Tom, just woundered what to expect really?

I had mine today, the doctor checked position of the baby, filled in some consent forms then the midwife took blood samples, mrsa swabs then talked me through what will happen on the day - what time to turn up how long I am likely to wait on the wards etc. Not too much really. Good Luck.

Thank you star, have you got your ccsection Tom?

No it's not until Friday, I'm a little nervous but the bean is breech! Just hope I can be out for Christmas day. When is yours?

Ooh starI'm having my section on fri too I also had my pre-op today. Getting excited now! When's yours katy?

Mines Tom eeeeek, tad nervous.

Good luck, have you both been told you will need to self inject anti clotting injections for 7 days? I've never heard of it before so wondered if it was just due to my age and medical history?

I'm just off to my app now i will let you know.

My friend had to do that nutshell never a csection and she is 27 so I don't know why .. I'll ask

I'm back, all was pretty straight forward, took blood and blood pressure and weighed me told me what would happen Tom.

I didn't get to see the anesthetic man (sp) but will see him in the morning, so couldn't ask about the injections.

Gosh I'm nervous can't stop shaking :(
