Hey beetle, thanks for thinking of me! All went well, in that the stitch was placed although some complications during the surgery apparently. It's been a pretty brutal recovery though. Probably worse as I've been trying not to take too many pain killers. I was in hospital for 3 nights, and still pretty sore sleeping, walking, standing up, etc...
I think the extra complications meant they messed around with my bowels a bit more, and in protest they really stopped working for a few days. I bloated up like a whale, so at least I know what I will look like in a few months!! But finally things seem to be getting back to normal'ish.
Baby was scanned before and after and coped great. I had my 12 week scan the day before the operation, as well as results from the Harmony test, which all came back really well. We even know the sex! I love seeing the baby bouncing around in there, it's so strange that I can't feel it. I bullied them into doing another scan for me on Sunday so I had a chance to see myself that baby is perfectly happy in there. Plus they showed me the stitch in place.
I'm just chilling at home now. I've still got 3 more weeks off, and I'm so glad I don't have to think about work for a while. I've got lots of appointments in the next few weeks, but hopefully no more major events. I've found this harder than the last operations - I worked out I've had 8 general anaesthetics in just over a year, 3 of which were major surgeries. My poor body is getting a bit battered.
How is everyone else doing?
